A Howardwick man connected with the April burglary of the Sandell Drive-In was one of six people sentenced when the district court met in Clarendon last Wednesday, July 16.
Jeffery Lynn Wyrick was convicted for the state jail felony offense of burglary of a building and was sentenced to 21 months in the State Jail Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

According to published reports, Wyrick was one of two people arrested after Donley County deputies executed a search warrant at their home at 258 Palacia Drive in Howardwick. Among the items found in the home was a large amount of candy and a trash can believed to have been stolen from the Sandell on either April 23 or April 24.

Enterprise files show Wyrick was also arrested in 2013 in connection with three burglaries, including one at the Clarendon Country Club from which a large safe was stolen.
