EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A 28-year old former Veneta man has been sentenced to nearly 60 years in prison for a 2006 crime spree.
Lane County Circuit Judge Jack Billings ordered the sentence Tuesday for Sean Richard Monro, who was convicted last week of 18 felony counts. The charges include two counts of attempted aggravated murder for cutting a Eugene drug dealer’s throat during a home invasion robbery. He also was found guilty of eight felony robbery charges, four felony theft charges and one charge of being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Monro is one of at least four people sentenced in connection with the crime spree and the killing of 21-year-old Noah Thacker of Eugene. Another Eugene man, Michael Vaughn, has been sentenced to life in prison for that murder.
