ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – A man with a long criminal history will spend the next two decades in prison after pleading guilty to a burglary at Corks & Cattle in Enterprise.
On October 1, 2025, defendant Tyrone Lewis appeared in Coffee County Circuit Court for jury selection on a charge of third-degree burglary. Before a jury was seated, Lewis accepted a plea deal, admitting guilt to the burglary charge and several other pending felony cases. Circuit Judge Shannon Clark sentenced him to 20 years in the Alabama Department of Corrections under the state’s Habitual Felony Offender Act.
Prosecutors said the incident happened on June 1, 2023, when Lewis broke into Corks & Cattle by cutting through a screen, smashing a window, and entering the building. He stole about four bottles of alcohol before fleeing the scene. The crime was captured on surveillance video, and Lewis later confessed during questioning by Enterprise Police.
“Records show that Defendant Lewis had six prior felony convictions, including two prior theft felonies and one prior burglary felony,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Mitchell. “Defendant Lewis has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement and the citizens of the City of Enterprise for most of his adult life. Thankfully, this outcome and sentence length will keep the streets of Enterprise safe from the criminal behavior of Defendant Lewis for a substantial amount of time.”
The Coffee County District Attorney’s Office thanked the Enterprise Police Department for its investigative work and Corks & Cattle for providing surveillance footage that helped identify and arrest Lewis.
