On Tuesday, a Grayson County jury sentenced Timothy Wayne Moore, 39, of Meade, Okla., to 65 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for after convicting him of burglary of a habitation. The sentence followed a two day trial in front of visiting judge James Fry.
Moore will be eligible for probation after serving 30 years.
A press release from Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown said that, on May 5, 2007, 19-year-old Raquel Garner returned in the middle of the day to the home she shared with her parents outside of Denison. She found a strange car parked in the yard, and soon observed a man she did not know walk out of her house.
She asked the man if she could help him, and he replied that he was there to fix the satellite dish. When she explained that the family did not have a satellite dish, he jumped into his vehicle, and sped off.
Garner followed the vehicle, at a high rate of speed, long enough to get the license plate number. When she returned to her house, she discovered that the door had been kicked in, the house had been ransacked, and several items had been stolen.
