WHEATON, Ill.—A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for stealing a remote control.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin says 35-year-old Eric Bramwell of Melrose Park was eligible for a sentence of up to 30 years because of his criminal history. He says that regardless of what was stolen, Bramwell “repeatedly thumbed his nose at the law.”
