A man has been convicted of sneaking into a 2-year-old girl's bedroom and stealing $20 from a piggy bank while she slept and was sentenced to six years in prison.
Section: Smart Savings
Four-time convicted burglar Ryan Mueller was convicted last week after a two-day jury trial of felony burglary as a repeat offender. The 31-year-old from Sheboygan Falls was accused of breaking into the Town of Wilson home last August of 2007. The girl's mother Julie Herschleb walked into the room as Mueller shook money from the bank. She told Judge L. Edward Stengel the burglary left her fearful and sleepless. Stengel also sentenced Mueller to five years probation, which would be consecutive to a six-year prison sentence Stengel handed down in June for another burglary conviction.
