Updated Big Rapids Home Invader Sentenced

 Mecosta County Court - Twenty three year old Tyler Douglas Sikorski of Big Rapids stood in court wearing orange jail apparel and pleaded "no contest" to one count of 3rd degree home invasion at a settlement conference on June 9, 2008.

 Sikorski's plea of no contest means that he will except the punishment but will not admit guilt. Sikorski was charged with two counts of 3rd degree home invasion back on April 12, 2008.

 According to a court report Sikorski is an habitual offender, who was convicted of larceny of a motor vehicle in Mecosta County back in 2002 and the unlawful use of a motor vehicle in 2007.

 In return for Sikorski's plea the prosecution will dismiss his habitual offender charges. He will appear back in court on July 7, 2008 for a sentencing.

 Sikorski invaded two homes in the Big Rapids area and destroyed property.

Update - On July 07, 2008 Sikorski was sentenced to 14 months to 15 years in prison.
