SUNBURY - A Coal Township man charged with heroin-related offenses and four burglaries pleaded guilty to multiple charges in seven cases Monday just prior to jury selection.
Eric Weikel, 35, entered the pleas before Northumberland County President Judge William H. Wiest to a felony of possession with intent to deliver heroin, four felony counts of burglary and two misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Weikel's pleas call for a state prison sentence of four to eight years and full restitution.
He will be sentenced within 90 days following a pre-sentence investigation into his background. Additional charges will not be prosecuted.
The charges relate to incidents in Shamokin and Coal Township in the fall of 2013. Weikel is accused of selling heroin to a confidential informant and committing four burglaries.
Northumberland County District Attorney Ann Targonski commended Assistant District Attorneys William Cole and Michael Toomey for their prosecution of the cases.
