A former Libby man, now living in Washington and accused of several break-ins and thefts from Libby area businesses a year ago, was sentenced and ordered to pay more than $8,000 in restitution Monday in Lincoln County District Court.

Andrew Tyler Watts, 24, of Port Angeles, was initially charged with six counts of theft, including two felonies and four misdemeanors after a lengthy investigation by officers in the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. 

Watts pleaded guilty to one felony count of theft on March 25 in Lincoln County District Court. The others were dismissed in a plea deal between the county and Watts.
