(AP) — A district judge has granted a 26-year-old York man his wish: prison time.

Jacob Harris’ attorney acknowledged that the request was unusual. Attorney Steve Fillman told Judge Patrick Mullen on Monday that Harris wanted the prison time despite being a candidate for probation.

Harris said he wanted to go to prison and that he was sorry for what he’d done. Harris was convicted of theft and attempted burglary.

Prosecutor Candace Dick says Harris had said he didn’t want to be baby-sat by probation officials.

Mullen sentenced Harris to 18 to 45 months for the attempted burglary and 90 days for the theft. The two sentences will be served at the same time.

He was credited for nine days already served.
