In a gritty turn of justice, Brandon Andrew Duncan, a 24-year-old former Smithville resident, has been sentenced to time served for his role in the brazen burglary of the local post office. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Duncan was given credit for approximately 7½ months of incarceration.
The defendant was further ordered to serve 4 months of home detention, face 2 years of supervised release, and pay restitution totaling $1,636.50. Duncan’s sentence stems from a federal investigation led by the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Postal Service.
According to the indictment, between December 21, 2013, and December 23, 2013, Duncan forcibly broke into the post office in Smithville with the intent to commit larceny. The investigation culminated in an arraignment in June 2014, followed by a guilty plea in September of that year.
The hearing was presided over by Honorable James H. Payne, District Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, located in Muskogee. Assistant United States Attorney Dean Burris represented the government in this case.
Branding Duncan’s actions as a serious offense against public property and postal service integrity, the court has handed down a sentence designed to serve as a deterrent to future criminal behavior. As Smithville recovers from this incident, residents are hopeful that such violent acts will remain a thing of the past.
