FARMINGTON — A Livermore Falls man was sentenced Friday to four years, all but 120 days suspended, and two years probation for breaking into the lodge of Titcomb Mountain Ski Area in Farmington in March 2012 and a garage in November at Spruce Mountain Ski Slope in Jay.

Ronald J. Davis II, 23, pleaded guilty to a charge of felony burglary in March for taking cash and radios from Titcomb and to two felony charges of theft for taking radios and using a municipal bulldozer at Spruce Mountain.

Felony charges of burglary and theft and a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge in the cases were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

The agreement also carried a four-year sentence with a cap of six months in jail.

Justice Michaela Murphy ordered Davis to pay $1,070 restitution to Titcomb and $100 to Spruce Mountain. She also ordered him to do 400 hours of public service and prohibited him from going to either ski area.

Assistant District Attorney James Andrews argued for Davis to spend six months in jail while defense attorney Thomas Carey argued for 90 days and no more than 120 days.

Prior to sentencing, Andrews went over Davis’ criminal history that included burglary, theft and criminal mischief in 2009. Andrews said Davis was convicted previously for breaking into buildings at Spruce Mountain Ski Slope and stealing a snowmobile in 2009.

For a fairly young man, he has amassed a lengthy criminal history in a short period of time, Andrews said. In May of 2009 he was sentenced to 18 months in jail with all but 75 days suspended and two years probation, he said. He also was sentenced to a 90-day probation revocation in 2010, Andrews said.

The time spent in jail in the past did not deter Davis from breaking into commercial-type buildings at ski slopes, he said.

Carey said they were not dealing with someone who was breaking into buildings to feed a narcotics habit. These crimes are almost juvenile in nature, he said. His parents live across the street from Spruce Mountain. Davis knocked a panel out of garage at the mountain to get keys to a bulldozer that was left to do work there, he said.

He didn’t threaten anyone, he basically went into abandoned commercial structures, Carey said.

While he has been out on bail on a pretrial contract he got two jobs, and his maturity has increased and helped others, he said. He realizes that going across the street to break into buildings is a stupid thing to do, Carey said.

“He is taking responsibility,” he said.

Andrews countered that when Farmington police Detective Marc Bowering interviewed him in 2012, he told him that he was fired from Titcomb and didn’t know why, Andrews said.

Bowering asked Davis if he was mad and he said he was “pissed,” Andrews said.

He said that describing Davis as a bored juvenile was “gilding the lily.” He is an adult, he said.
