His lawyers worked to reduce the sentence,, and he pleaded guilty at Monday’s hearing.

McMillan was charged with forcing his way into the Big Brothers/Big Sisters center at 804 N. Providence Road three consecutive times in April. After the first two break-ins, management of the center installed an alarm to catch the burglar.

After arresting McMillan, Columbia police found items in his residence that were stolen from the center.

McMillan’s trial was scheduled for Oct. 10.
