<p>A man with a lengthy criminal history has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to breaking into a Greenwood home last year.</p>
<p>Kyler Thompson, 47, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty to a felony count of burglary and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.</p>
<p>Thompson has multiple past convictions, including theft, auto theft, criminal trespass and intimidation, and had previously served more than four years in prison.</p>
<p>With his most recent sentence, Thompson is eligible to participate in the Purposeful Incarceration program, geared toward inmates with addiction problems, which Thompson clearly has, his attorney Matt Solomon said.</p>
<p>Thompson was arrested last year after a homeowner on North Madison Avenue in Greenwood heard breaking glass and found Thompson, who the resident did not know, in a bedroom of the home.</p>
<p>When police arrived, Thompson was lying on the ground with the resident pointing his gun at him. Next to Thompson, police found cash, a radio, a cellphone and pliers, which were missing from the home Thompson was found in.</p>
<p>Thompson told police that he was swimming with a friend next door, and the friend had run into the neighbor’s house and he went after him.</p>
<p>The neighbor told police she did not know Thompson and did not give him permission to swim in her pool, which is surrounded by a fence. Thompson also told police the friend with him had thrown the cash on the ground. No other person was found.</p>
<p>Thompson was also arrested last year on a possession of a handgun by a felon charge in Marion County, and theft charges in Hamilton County. His sentence in the local case would be served after any sentence in those cases, according to court records.</p>
<p>His earliest release date would be in 2025, according to the Indiana Department of Correction.</p>
<p>If Thompson successfully completes the Purposeful Incarceration program and has good behavior in prison, he could ask for his sentence to be reduced, Solomon said.</p>
