December 08, 2009, 3:56PMNine months after taking his guilty plea, a Cumberland County judge today sentenced an admitted heroin addict to 2 to 6 years in state prison for stealing tractors from businesses in four midstate counties. State police said John D. Mower, 48, of Philadelphia, committed the thefts in Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin and Adams counties in the spring of 2006. Police said Mower, who helped them recover most of the stolen equipment, committed the thefts to feed his drug habit. The prison term was set in an agreement reached when Mower pleaded guilty to multiple theft charges in March.
