URBANA – An Urbana man who threatened a woman with harm within an hour of admitting in court that he'd violated an order of protection that she had against him was sentenced Tuesday to almost six years in prison.

Erroll Troutman, 27, whose last known address was in the 200 block of North Central Avenue, pleaded guilty in Champaign County Circuit Court in July to violation of an order of protection with a prior violation of an order of protection conviction.

Assistant State's Attorney Chris Kanis said Troutman pleaded guilty on June 1 to a misdemeanor violation of an order of protection involving the same woman, that stemmed from a May 19 incident in Urbana. After being sentenced to two years of probation, he was released from jail that same day.

Less than 60 minutes later, Kanis said, Troutman was banging on the woman's door and yelling at her. Arrested the next day, he told Urbana police officer Oscar Gamble that he had nothing to lose and was going to harm the woman.

Judge Tom Difanis sentenced Troutman to 70 months in prison on the felony violation.

In other recent cases before Difanis:

– Steven Jackson, 19, who listed an address in the 1000 block of North Hickory Street, Champaign, was sentenced to seven years in prison for a residential burglary that occurred Aug. 18, 2009, in the 1100 block of Garwood Street.

Jackson pleaded guilty in July to the break-in. The resident came home that day and found his air conditioner had been moved as an apparent means of entry. Dresser drawers had been ransacked and a plasma television stolen.

Kanis said a neighbor identified Jackson as one of two men involved in the burglary.

– Faron Kelly, 34, who listed an address in the 1600 block of Valley Road, Champaign, was sentenced to seven years in prison for a March 18 residential burglary. Kelly pleaded guilty to the charge, admitting that he acted as a lookout for two others who entered a fraternity in the 0-100 block of East Daniel Street and stole identification cards from two men.

Assistant State's Attorney Joel Fletcher said the identification was later found in a search of Kelly's home.

Difanis allowed Kelly's request to turn himself in to begin serving his sentence on Sept. 13.

Kelly has several prior conviction for theft, robbery, criminal trespass, driving under suspension and violation of bail bond, Kelly said.

He admitted that on May 13 he used his hands and a piece of coaxial cable to choke the mother of his child at a residence in Urbana.

Difanis agreed to recommend Bell, who had prior convictions for DUI, driving under revocation, and criminal damage to property, for the Department of Corrections' boot camp program.

He had been sentenced twice to probation for a burglary to a Rantoul business that occurred in May 2007. On June 18, he ran away from a treatment program and when Rantoul police confronted him at a home in the village, he gave them a false name and date of birth.

Difanis agreed to recommend Pridgett for boot camp.

Kirby Ave., C, and presented the teller with another man's credit card and a false identification card he had made in an attempt to get an $8,000 advance on the credit card.

Assistant State's Attorney Duke Harris said the bank contacted police and Edwards told them he found the man's wallet, then obtained a false ID in the man's name in an attempt to get money.
