A Freeport man was sentenced to 22 years in prison Wednesday after a jury found him guilty of burglarizing a Rockville Centre home in 2010 and fighting with police officers who attempted to arrest him at the scene.

Jerry Valery, 41, was convicted in June of two counts of burglary in the first degree, two counts of assault in the second degree, attempted robbery in the second and third degrees and resisting arrest. He was sentenced this morning by Judge David Sullivan.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said that at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 22, 2010, Valery entered an Allen Road home by pushing in a dining room window air conditioner.
