CROSSVILLE — A man who fled the jurisdiction after being involved in a 2008 crime spree that resulted in 40 charges, ranging from auto burglary to theft and vandalism, pleaded guilty in Cumberland County Criminal Court Feb. 6.

Zachariah Drakos, 27, who was living on Brookside Dr. in 2008, appeared before Judge Leon Burns and pleaded guilty to 17 of the most serious charges — all burglary — and in exchange, received a total of eight years to serve in prison.

Restitution topped $8,500.

The break-ins began on July 5, 2008, with the burglary of Mountain Motors and continued through Sept. 19.

Business that were burglarized included Mountain Motors, Custard Cabin, Gwin Realty, Big Boy’s BBQ, WW Auto, The Pitt, Friendly Mart, Lantana Auto, Mountain Auto, Cash Express, Eclipse Salon, Tanrageous, Jiffy Mart, The Look, Chuckles, Thompson Auto, James Auto, Mom’s Tackle Box, Just One More and Tony’s Nails.

Some of the businesses were victimized more than once.

In exchange for the guilty plea, the remaining charges were dropped.

Drakos, who was living in Florida when authorities caught up with him in December 2011, has been in jail since that time. He will be given credit for time served.
