Sentencing has been handed down for Timothy Ely, the perpetrator in a Burglary of The Cook Shack, a restaurant in West Blocton.  The 17-year old native of West Blocton was given a 10-year prison sentence. This decision was not only determined based on the burglary but also for the theft of an automobile. 

According to authorities, Ely could be released in as early as a year to fifteen months, with the remainder of his sentenced to be served as probation.  Early release will depend on his progress in a substance abuse program. 

“We would like to thank the West Blocton Police Department for the work performed in this case,” said Assistant District Attorney Tim Evans.
