NORWICH – A man who the district attorney said “was in trouble every week,” seems to have shown the court he is willing to change, prior to sentencing Monday.

Daniel Sabines was sentenced to five years probation after he pleaded guilty to burglary in the third degree, a class D felony.

Sabines with lawyer Linden Summers discussed his actions of bettering himself with Chenango County Judge W. Howard Sullivan and District Attorney Joseph McBride.

“My client understands the rules of probation,” said Summers. When asked, Daniel Sabines stated, he had successfully completed the Leading Edge program offered at BOCES in Norwich and had a job interview lined up for Thursday.
