A Wall Lake man has been sentenced to up to ten years in prison following his conviction for multiple burglaries in Sac County late last year. According to Sac County, District Court records, 23-year-old Jacob Lindner of Wall Lake was initially charged with three counts of second-degree theft, three counts of third-degree burglary, felon in possession of a firearm, all class D felonies, first-degree theft, a class C felony, and ongoing criminal conduct, a class B felony. The charges stem from separate instances in September and October of 2022 in Sac County. According to officials, Lindner broke into several homes, stealing stereo equipment, jewelry, tools, and other items valued at more than $17,000. Lindner was also found in possession of two stolen vehicles, a 2009 Hyundai, which was reported stolen in 2021 from Mason City. The second vehicle was a 2000 Ford F-150 that had been stripped down for parts reportedly stolen from a property in Sac City. Linder was suspected of selling the truck parts and stolen items to a third party for money. Lindner pled guilty to three of the felony charges after reaching an agreement with prosecutors and order to serve up to 10 years in prison and pay back more than $10,000 in victim restitution.
