CLEARFIELD – A Burnside man will be doing time in state prison for burglary and possessing drugs.
Hayden David Hoyt, 23, pleaded guilty in two different cases during sentencing court Friday.
For burglary he was sentenced by Judge Paul Cherry to six months to three years in state prison and for possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance (less than one pound of marijuana) he was given a concurrent term of six months to three years incarceration.
He must pay $400 in restitution.
According to the affidavit of probable cause in the first case, police investigated a burglary at a Westover residence in April 2018. Missing was a drill charger and battery, a drill in a carry bag, and a set of drill bits. The items were valued at $400.
Police were able to obtain two distinct hand prints from the scene that were sent to a lab that determined they belonged to Hoyt.
The criminal complaint in the second case details how on Feb. 9, U.S. Marshals were serving arrest warrants on both Hoyt and his father, Mark David Hoyt, at their Burnside home.
Hayden Hoyt heard their knocking and locked himself in the bathroom where he allegedly disposed of drugs in the sink and toilet. He eventually opened the door after troopers could hear multiple flushes and water running in the sink.
Several stamp bags were on the floor by the sink, there was an open plastic container and a small amount of methamphetamine near the sink.
In the bedroom where he had been sleeping, they found a bag containing over 14 ounces of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
