Keibron Brock Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison
Keibron Brock Receives 20-year prison sentence with no parole.
A career criminal who pled guilty to a string of burglaries in Franklin and Hart counties as well as a home invasion that injured an elderly Royston man, will spend the next two decades in a Georgia prison.
On Friday, Judge John Bailey sentenced 21-year old Keibron Brock in Franklin County Superior Court in Carnesville.
According to Northern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Parks White, Brock was not offered any deals and received a lengthy sentence.
“None of the charges were dropped,” White said. “He pled guilty to everything in all of the indictments. He received a total sentence for all of the offenses of 20-years in prison without the possibility of parole followed by 20 years on probation.”
On September 24th, Brock pled guilty in Franklin County Superior Court to eight counts of burglary, one count of armed robbery, one count of aggravated assault and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Brock was scheduled to go on trial in Franklin County, but chose instead to agree to the plea just before jury selection was to have gotten underway.
White said Brock also pled guilty to two counts of burglary in Hart County and his sentence Friday was for crimes committed in both counties.
The crimes in Franklin County go back as far as November and December, 2011. In those cases, Brock and two others, Charlton Cawthon and Qym Dashun Johnson allegedly burglarized four homes, three in Lavonia and one in Martin.
Johnson is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter, armed robbery, and burglary out of Stephens County. According to White, there was insufficient evidence to charge Brock and Cawthon in those cases.
Brock was out on bond for those crimes when he and Allison Gail Anderson went on another burglary spree, breaking into one home in Royston in May 2012, and five more in Carnesville and Lavonia in July 2012. White said the case against Anderson is still pending.
Brock again was out on bond on those charges when he and Lindsey Kaitlyn Ray, Emmanuel David Thornton and 15-year old Christian Dakota Windsor broke into the home of an elderly man in Royston the night of October 22nd, 2012 beat him, shot him, and robbed him at gunpoint.
All of the suspects in that case were arrested. White said all of Brock’s accomplices also received stiff sentences.
“Kaitlyn Ray, who did not go in the house, but purchased the mask and the bleach for the armed robbery and home invasion received a prison sentence of 10 years to serve followed by 20 years on probation,” White said. “Emmanuel Thornton, who also did not go into the house, was sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by 20 years on probation. And Dakota Windsor, who was tried as an adult, and went into the house with Keibron Brock received a sentence of 15 years in prison followed by 25 years probation.”
White said Emmanuel Thornton’s sentence is without the possibility of parole.
In May 2013, Brock escaped for a brief time from the Franklin County Detention. After a massive manhunt, he was found hiding in his mother’s home on SR59 and was recaptured.
