Jimenez, Eudora, to serve 32 months in prison for residential burglary, a Level 7 non-person felony, and six months in prison for theft, a Level 9 non-person felony. The sentences are to run concurrently. Before handing down the sentences, Nafziger took the time to start counting the pre-vious convictions on Jimenez’s criminal history report and had gotten up to 31 when he decided to go no further. Given the chance to speak prior to sentencing, Jimenez apologized for having stolen a truck and a four-wheeler.

Assistant County Attorney Ryan Kriegshauser represented the state at the proceeding.
