Cooper sentenced to four years in home invasion

YOUNGSTOWN

The last defendant in a Struthers home invasion has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Marc L. Cooper, 20, of Deer Creek Drive, Struthers, who had earlier pleaded guilty to felonious assault with a firearm specification and burglary, drew the sentence this afternoon from Judge Shirley J. Christian of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

The invasion occurred April 10 at an Oakland Boulevard residence. Three men broke in and took 17 guns and the homeowner’s prescription medication. The homeowner suffered head injuries and a stab wound to his left arm.

Another defendant, Timothy Conzett, 25, of Snyder Avenue, Struthers, who had pleaded guilty to the same charges in the April 10 incident, drew an 11-year prison term Tuesday.

A third defendant, Colin Anzevino, 21, also of Snyder Avenue, pleaded guilty Sept. 14 to aggravated burglary with a firearm specification, and hanged himself in the county jail Oct. 4 while awaiting sentencing.
