A Bridgeport man arrested last year in connection with a Greenwich home invasion and a string thefts from parked cars during the summer of 2009 was sentenced at state Superior Court in Stamford to a total of eight years in jail.

Wicky Guy Austin McGhee, 46, of Bridgeport, was arrested in June 2011 along with Thomas Haywood, of New Rochelle, N.Y., after police said they used a crowbar to break into a Buena Vista Drive home.

McGhee, who has three Greenwich-related court files, was also charged last year with 11 counts of third-degree burglary and one count of fourth-degree larceny for the 2009 thefts.

McGhee will serve two five-year and one eight-year jail terms concurrently and will face 10 years of special parole following his release.

Following the June home invasion, Haywood and McGhee fled the home after the homeowner dialed 911 and screamed at the intruders from a second-floor stairwell, police said.

A break in the case occurred when the officer noticed an unlocked, unfamiliar Mercedes-Benz in an area of the town's Byram section that had been a hot spot for motor vehicle burglaries, police said at the time. The car's operator returned to the area but fled when he saw police.

Police said officers saw a crowbar in plain view inside the car and executed a search warrant. Evidence taken from the vehicle helped linked the suspects to the break in, police said; they also used video from the Buena Vista Drive home to help identify the suspects.

04/09/12 Byram Park Signs Are Less Than Desirable

Dear Editor,

Who is In charge of the ugly signage at Byram Park.

Byram Park features an array of unattractive, handmade signs with white-stenciled letters on red backgrounds.

 Is there is no budget for signs or a commitment to aesthetics in our park?
