In 2014, the DNA developed from the crime scene was matched to a profile in the state database of a previously convicted offender. The offender, VINCENT FAULKNER, was convicted of Criminal Contempt in August 2013. Upon his conviction, FAULKNER was mandated to supply his DNA to the database, resulting in the positive hit from the Third Street burglary.
FAULKNER faces 5 years in State Prison, to be followed by 5 years of Post-Release Supervision, when sentenced on May 5, 2015.
Major Offenses Unit Bureau Chief Shannon Corbitt prosecuted this case.
