PORTLAND, Ind. (AP) _ A 30-year-old Indiana man has admitted to breaking into the garage of a man who shot him as he fled the property.
David A. Bailey of Albany pleaded guilty Wednesday to burglary and was sentenced to electronic home detention for three years followed by three years of probation.
Bailey claimed last September at a trial for 32-year-old David McLaughlin of Dunkirk, whose garage was broken into, that someone else committed the crime. The (Muncie) Star Press reports (http://tspne.ws/1HL2Pb5 ) that Bailey said he was wounded as the result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
McLaughlin was convicted of criminal recklessness in the April 2014 shooting. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail followed by four months of home detention.
