A Libby man accused of burglarizing Lee Gehring Memorial Field has pleaded guilty to the offense.

Myron Lisle Rowe, 35, entered his plea March 10 in Lincoln County District Court. Rowe, who remains in the Lincoln County Detention Center, was first charged with felony burglary, felony theft and misdemeanor criminal mischief, following an investigation last fall by the county sheriff’s office.

Maury Solomon, with the state Office of the Public Defender, is representing Rowe, while Deputy County Attorney Jeffrey Zwang is prosecuting the case. Solomon negotiated a plea deal with Zwang that recommends a 10-year prison sentence, with five suspended, for pleading guilty to burglary. The theft and criminal mischief charges will be dismissed.
