A man from Branson is sentenced to 6 years in prison for his guilty plea to felony charges in connection with a string of vending machine break-ins in August of 2010.

The Taney County prosecuting attorney says 24-year-old Timothy Lemmons had been arrested during a traffic stop when a Branson police officer discovered a ring full of small vending machine keys, forceps and a drill bit. 

Lemmons was charged as a prior and persistent felony offender.
