A 37 year old Mt. Carmel man has been sentenced to 6 years in prison after being linked to a March vehicle break in. State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman reports that David Harms was charged on March 12th with a Class 3 felony burglary count following a Mt. Carmel Police Department investigation to a vehicle break in the 500 block of Chestnut Street. During the investigation, Harms attempted to run from an MCPD officer who deployed his TASER to apprehend the suspect. Storckman said during that investigation that Harms had been arrested, processed, and released for possession of drug paraphernalia earlier in the evening and had then entered the victim’s vehicle as he walked from the jail back to his vehicle. After his 6 year prison term, Harms will be on 6 months of mandatory supervised release.
