A Sangamon County man has been sentenced to prison in Morgan County court for stealing from a construction site in Waverly.

The sentence against 42-year-old David Bennett of Springfield was handed down yesterday in court.

Bennett was sentenced to 5 years in the department of corrections.

He was arrested in connection with the theft of equipment from T and T Construction from a site on Elm in Waverly in October of 2024.

Bennett had failed to appear in court until earlier this year.

Bennett will serve this sentence at the same time of a similar sentence in Tazewell County.
