Bryan-Cooke-caughtWEB
Homicide suspect Bryan Cooke has been sentenced to three years in prison for violating his probation.
Facing trial in February for the brutal murders last summer of his in-laws, Gail and Gary Dodson, homicide suspect Bryan J. Cooke has been sentenced to three years in prison for violating his probation.Cooke admitted to being in violation of his probation during his recent appearance before Circuit Court Judge Bart Stanley. He was directed to serve the balance of a three-year sentence he owes the state for a grand theft conviction in 2013. He had already violated his probation last year, serving 66 days for that violation, getting out of jail shortly before he allegedly killed his in-laws.Given the complex calculations used to determine how long inmates must serve, it is not known exactly how much time is owed on the probation violation.
