A previously convicted sex offender from Western North Carolina will spend a least a decade, after pleading guilty on a list of charges.
Buncombe County officials say that 46 year old, Terry Lee Branks of Arden pleaded guilty late last week to charges of 1st degree burglary, larceny, indecent exposure and failure to register as a sex offender.
The charges came after an incident at a home in Arden, back in May of this year. Deputies responded to a call of a naked man on a dirt road behind the home. Investigators say that Branks also entered a neighboring home and stole various things.
Branks has previous convictions on child sex crime charges. He is expected to serve between a minimum of 10 years and a max sentence of 13 years.
