(KNZA)--The second of three men charged in connection with a home invasion last April on the Kickapoo Reservation has pleaded no contest to charges.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says 35-year-old Westley 'Sag Tuk' Banks entered the plea Tuesday in Brown County District Court to charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated battery and aggravated burglary, canceling a 4-day jury trial that had been set in the case.

Sentencing was set for January 29th.

Hill says the offenses will carry a presumptive prison sentence of between 55 months and 247 months in prison for the aggravated robbery conviction; between 38 months and 172 months for the aggravated battery conviction and between 31 months and 136 months in prison for the aggravated burglary conviction.

Banks remains in the Brown County Jail after his bond was revoked following his conviction.

Hill indicated that the victim was actively involved in the case since its filing and was pleased that Banks' pleas will result in him being held accountable for his actions in carrying out the home invasion on April 24th of last year.

22-year-old Andrew Darnell pleaded no contest last month to charges of robbery, aggravated burglary and aggravated assault in the case, and is scheduled to be sentenced March 28th.

The third defendant, 32-year-old Tyler “ Tiger” Banks, is scheduled for a jury trial beginning March 1st on five counts.
