I was going to post this as an update, but I realized I didn't have the original story.
Alejandro Augirre Aguilar admitted Monday that he entered an Elgin home and pushed a woman inside.

The 23-year-old Rochester man told Judge James Fabian that he took items from the home so he could get food for his family.

"I am very sorry," he said. "I know I did something wrong and I have to pay for it." But asked the judge not to send him to prison for a long time.

A long time is deserved.
Under terms of the plea agreement, he faces a 41-month term for the offense last June.

He was charged with one count of first-degree burglary, one count of first-degree aggravated robbery and a misdemeanor count of fifth-degree assault. He was accused of entering a home in rural Elgin at about 4:30 p.m. June 7. Two women were in the house. One confronted him, and he admitted pushing her to get away. Five pieces of jewelry were found in his pants pocket after he was stopped by deputies.

Less than four years for a home invasion. Anyone who lives in the Elgin area should lodge a complaint with the local prosecutor.
