Stanley gets 52 months for burglary, jail assault

A Holton resident will spend roughly three years and a half in prison on burglary and aggravated assault charges on two different cases from last year following a Friday morning sentencing hearing in Jackson County District Court.

Bradley A. Stanley Sr., 33, re­ceived a 32-month prison sentence on a burglary charge that stemmed from a July 2014 incident in Hoyt and a 20-month prison sentence on an aggravated assault charge re­sulting from an incident occurring during Stanley’s incarceration at the Jackson County Detention Center. Stanley’s sentence will be reduced by 300 days of time al­ready served at the detention cen­ter, it was noted.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller had recommended two consecutive 32-month sen­tences, one on each charge, but District Court Judge Micheal Ire­land reduced the second sentence to 20 months. However, Ireland told Bradley that he could not discount that the second charge against him stemmed from an incident that re­portedly occurred while he was in­carcerated.

Originally, Stanley had been charged with aggravated sexual battery, vehicular burglary and theft in the Hoyt incident, which reportedly occurred July 19, 2014, and reportedly involved the sexual abuse of a 16-year-old girl. But during a March 27 hearing, Stanley pleaded guilty to the burglary charge in exchange for dismissal of the other three charges.

During a hearing on that same day, Stanley also pleaded guilty to the aggravated battery charge, which stemmed from an alleged alterca­tion that involved Danny R. Adams of Denison, another inmate at the detention center. Ireland said surveillance videos were available for review, including video footage that showed the al­leged altercation between Stanley and Adams.

On that charge, Miller recom­mended that its sentence run con­secutive to the 32-month sentence on the burglary charge. Ireland agreed but reduced the amount of the sentence, taking into considera­tion the statement of Stanley’s at­torney, Andrew Delaney of Hiawatha, that Stanley had “owned up to what he’s done.”
