Guilty Plea in Walton Burglary

Written By The Mountain Eagle on 1/23/25 | 1/23/25

DELHI – Bryce D. Farrell, 23, of Sidney appeared in Delaware County Court on January 14, 2025, before the Honorable Judge John L. Hubbard, and pleaded guilty to one count of Attempted Burglary in the Third Degree, a Class E Felony. 

As part of his guilty plea, Mr. Farrell admitted that on July 28, 2023, in the Village of Walton, he entered a building he did not have permission to be in for the purpose of committing a crime. On July 31, 2023, an individual called the Walton Police Department and reported that his residence had been broken into and a safe stolen. Approximately one hundred dollars ($100) in cash was taken. Per Office policy, the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office does not identify the victim or the address where the burglary took place. 

Investigator Kathryn Mitchell of the Walton Police Department was assigned and after reviewing security footage, identified Bryce Farrell as one of the burglars. After an investigation regarding his co-defendant’s links to separate burglaries was successfully concluded, an arrest warrant was issued on July 16, 2024. On November 4, 2024, Farrell was apprehended by members of the New York State Police.

The Honorable John L. Hubbard accepted Mr. Farrell’s guilty plea and ordered the Delaware County Probation Department to conduct a pre-sentencing report. His sentencing is tentatively scheduled for March 11, 2025.

DA Smith commended Officer Mitchell for her work on the case. “I want to thank Investigator Mitchell for her work in helping secure this guilty plea. Anyone who assists in a burglary, no matter how small their involvement, will face penalties.”

As are all persons accused of a crime, this defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
