Evansville Man Sentenced To Max

Wabash County State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman reports an Evansville man has been sentenced to prison following multiple convictions earlier this year.

Thirty-three-year-old Devin Brittain was sentenced April 20th in Wabash County Circuit Court after being found guilty by a jury in January of aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery, aggravated battery of a peace officer, and two counts of criminal damage to property.

Judge William Hudson imposed the maximum sentence on the two most serious charges, sentencing Brittain to seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections on each count. The sentences will run concurrently, with the domestic battery charge requiring 85 percent to be served and the battery of a peace officer charge requiring 50 percent.

Upon release, Brittain will be subject to four years of mandatory supervised release. A restitution hearing in the case has been scheduled.

The State’s Attorney’s Office also thanked the officers and agencies involved in the investigation and prosecution of the case.
