A Dayton man was sentenced to a minimum of five years for reportedly breaking into a Harrison Twp. home and robbing a resident at gunpoint.

Dakota Maddox, 25, was sentenced to five to 6 ½ years in prison, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records.

In August Maddox pleaded guilty to one count each of aggravated burglary, abduction, grand theft and theft charges. An aggravated burglary, abduction and grand theft charge were dismissed.

Early on May 31, Maddox and a second suspect reportedly entered a Daleview Avenue mobile home and pointed a handgun at a resident. The pair forced the resident into a bedroom at gunpoint and took his cellphone, money and two handguns before fleeing in a vehicle, according to Vandalia Municipal Court records and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives later located the suspect vehicle and did surveillance on it. While in Kettering, they saw Maddox leave a residence and get inside the suspect vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

Maddox was arrested without incident.

Investigators reportedly found two firearms, including one stolen during the Daleview Avenue robbery, while searching the vehicle and Maddox’s residence.
