GOSHEN- Orange County District Attorney David M. Hoovler announced this week that 32-year-old David Mead of Middletown was sentenced to an aggregate term of three to six years in prison in connection with his previous guilty pleas in Orange County Court to burglary and criminal possession of stolen property.
After Mead pled guilty in November of 2023, he was subsequently re-arrested three times while he was pending sentence. Mead admitted that he had violated the conditions of his plea and was subject to the enhanced sentence imposed.
As alleged in documents filed and statements made in court, in the early morning hours on October 20, 2023, Mead broke a window at a bar in the Village of Montgomery and entered in search of money. Later that same day, Mead broke into a vehicle in the Town of Wawayanda and stole credit cards from within that he later attempted to use. Two days later, in the Town of New Windsor, Mead broke into another vehicle and stole tools. A day after that, Mead broke into another car in the Town of Newburgh and stole a gym bag. When Mead was arrested on October 24, 2023, members of the Town of Newburgh Police Department recovered from Mead’s vehicle property he stole from the incident in New Windsor.
“Break-ins can not only result in costly damage or loss of property, but constitute an inexcusable invasion of privacy,” said District Attorney David M. Hoovler. “It required the cooperative involvement of all of the police agencies in this case to ensure that the defendant was held to account for his string of crimes across Orange County.”
