A Perry man is heading to prison after a home invasion incident back in March.
25 year old Landon K. Miller pleaded guilty to two counts of violating an order of protection and to aggravated battery of a peace officer on Tuesday in Pike County Circuit Court. Counts of home invasion and resisting a peace officer were dropped per the plea.

On Tuesday, Miller was sentenced to a total of 6 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and ordered to pay an undisclosed county fine. He was given credit for a total of 57 days served in the Pike County Jail.
