A Northwest Indiana man has been sentenced to five years in prison, after footprints in the snow led police from a house he had burglarized right to his own home.
Jacob Robert Lesiow, 27, of Winfield, Ind., was sentenced to five years in prison in Lake County, Ind., Court, according to the Lake County prosecutor's office.
On Jan. 17, a woman left her home on Windy Hill Drive in the Lakes of the Four Seasons subdivision in Winfield for two hours, and afterward, found that her front door had been broken open and someone had taken a handgun, an iPod, a small safe, an XBox system and video games.
The two Lake County sheriff's officers who were sent to the scene found a set of footprints in the snow that started at the woman's home and led directly to his home, located on Chevy Chase Circle in the very same subdivision.
Lesiow admitted that he had burglarized the woman's home and was arrested and charged, prosecutors said.
Lesiow had three prior burglary and two misdemeanor convictions in Cook County, prosecutors said.
