Jordan Clay Burrell, 20, was sentenced to 38 years in prison on Wednesday for beating a 67-year-old man with a pipe.
Lubbock County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the 11500 block of County Road 6900 during September of 2015. They were told that a suspect beat the victim after the victim refused demands for money. Later Burrell was identified as the suspect and arrested in Hockley County.
The victim was described at the time as having serious but not life-threatening injuries.
During court proceedings on Wednesday, Burrell apologized and his attorney mentioned the idea of no prison time.
But State District Judge Jim Bob Darnell had little patience, saying, “I’m not considering deferred adjudication.”
