Danville, IL – A Chicago man was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to home invasion following a domestic dispute in Danville.
According to the Vermilion County State’s Attorney’s Office, Albert Cobbins, 37, was sentenced Friday by Judge Mark S. Goodwin. Cobbins will also serve 18 months of mandatory supervised release after his prison term.
