A Greenfield man was sentenced to three years of community control on one count of attempted burglary in Highland County Common Pleas Court.

Riley Richards, 22, was sentenced to three years of community control on one count of attempted burglary, a third-degree felony.

Richards was ordered to serve 30 days in the Highland County Jail.

Richards was also ordered to have no contact with the victim or “any family member.”

The Court ordered that, if Richards violated any of the community control sanctions, he would be given a sentence of between nine and 36 months.

If Richards were sentenced to a term of imprisonment, a period of supervision under conditions determined by the Adult Parole Authority after his release was found to be mandatory for the case.
