First-degree burglary occurred in 2017 in Cherokee County, S.C.  

CAMPOBELLO—A Campobello man was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 years in prison for burglary.  

Joshua Kyle Warren, 31, of Campobello pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary. Warren admitted that he broke into a home on June 3, 2017 and stole three guns, ammunition and propane tanks valued at more than $1,000, according to the Seventh Circuit Solicitor’s Office for Cherokee and Spartanburg counties.  

The victim of the burglary originally named Warren as a suspect, saying that Warren was a friend from school and had visited the victim’s home recently.  

The Solicitor’s Office also said days after the burglary, Warren was alleged to have been involved in a police shooting that injured a Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office deputy.  

Charges are still pending in the Rutherford County case.  

Circuit Judge Donald Hocker sentenced Warren to 20 years in prison for the burglary.   

The Solicitor’s Office said Warren will serve 85 percent of the sentence before he is eligible for release.  

Warren’s prior criminal record includes convictions for lewd act on a minor, second-degree burglary, property crimes and drug offenses, according to the Solicitor’s Office.
