A string of apartment burglaries that led police to a marijuana growing operation earned a Spokane man about 2 1/2 years in prison.

William F. Searight, 22, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of second-degree burglary and received 29.75 months in prison. Searight burglarized a string of Spokane Valley apartment complexes in March, as well as a hydroponic grow shop in February.

Searight's alleged accomplice in at least two of the burglaries, Jonothon A. Delay, 19, told detectives he'd burgled the grow shop for marijuana grow equipment, which led police to dismantle a grow at 106045 E. 6th.

Allison E. Hubbard, 29, is wanted on a $10,000 warrant for manufacturing a controlled substance after she didn't show up for an arraignment in September, according to court records.

Delay pleaded guilty earlier this month to four counts of second-degree burglary and was sentenced to 50 months in prison. He also has convictions for theft and second-degree robbery. Searight doesn't appear to have previous convictions.
