Arraignment Held for Sheridan Man Charged With Multiple Felonies

An arraignment was held Tuesday in Fourth Judicial District Court for a Sheridan man charged with multiple felonies. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

In late March of this year, 18-year-old Jordan Brite along with another adult male and four juveniles were arrested for allegedly breaking into a residence in Sheridan and stealing a number of firearms that included pistols, revolvers and rifles along with various ammunition. One adult female was cited for misdemeanor accessory after the fact. Brite, at an arraignment hearing Tuesday in District Court, pleaded not guilty to the charges of aggravated burglary and theft.

District Court Judge Darci Phillips scheduled a #4 stack three-day jury trial to begin on August 28 and set a pretrial conference for August 3 at 10:30 am. The #4 stack means there are three other jury trials scheduled to begin on August 28. Brite’s adult co-defendant in the case, 18-year-old Gabrial Holcomb pleaded not guilty to the same charges at an arraignment hearing last week in District Court. 

The charge of felony aggravated burglary is punishable by not less than five years and not more than 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000. The charge of felony theft is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
