A man who tried to get some pay back against the sheriff has been sentenced to a year in jail for his nocturnal visit to the lawman’s home.

The defendant, Michael Brandon Redmon, 33, has already completed his sentence as he was picked up for the crime and had remained in jail since October of last year. He is now a free man after entering pleas to charges of aggravated criminal trespass and vandalism but is liable to pay restitution to Sheriff Patrick Ray in the amount of $150.

Reports revealed Redmon went to Ray’s home on the evening of Oct. 16 of last year and beat on his front door. Getting no answer he walked around the property, tracking white paint across the sheriff’s driveway, sidewalk and porch. While the sheriff wasn’t home at the time of the incident, his wife was. She contacted authorities but Redmon had already fled the scene.

As for motive, the sheriff believes Redmon’s anger grew out of his arrest one week prior on charges of theft. At the time of his release, Redmon maintained he did not get back certain personal items taken from him upon his arrest.
