Vanhaecke Sentenced To Prison

A South Range man is headed to prison for breaking into a camp.

49-year-old Camiel Vanhaecke was charged with 2nd degree home invasion involving a break-in at a camp in Duncan Township in June.

Prosecutor Michael Makinen argued for a long prison sentence based on Vanhaecke’s prior criminal history.

Defense Attorney David Gemignani stated the guidelines for sentencing were fair given that, as he put it, his client already has a death sentence since he has cancer and may not outlive a long sentence.

He was sentenced to a minimum 2 years and 9 months with a maximum of 22 ½ years and was credited for 97 days time served.
