DOVER - The first of four local men to be indicted in a brutal Rochester home invasion last November pleaded guilty today and was sentenced to 2-5 years in a New Hampshire prison.

In a plea deal arranged with prosecutors Ryan Tiberio, 22, of 9 Western Ave., Apt. 4, Dover, pleaded guilty to three felony charges, one of which was connected to the brutal Nov. 17 home invasion and armed robbery at 19A Academy St.

Tiberio also pleaded guilty to two felony charges not related to the home invasion: unarmed robbery and drug possession charges stemming from a January arrest.

He received a 2-5 year sentence on a conspiracy to commit robbery charge connected to the home invasion, a 2-5 years suspended sentence on the January robbery charge and a 1-3 year suspended sentence on the drug charge.

Tiberio also must complete any counseling recommended by the Dept. of Corrections.

Assistant County Attorney Katelyn Henmueller said she was pleased with the sentence.

"I think it was a fair resolution based on his age and relatively minor criminal record," Henmueller said today.

Meanwhile, of the other three Rochester men involved in the home invasion, Giovanni Angel Monroe, 35, of 15 Royal Crest MHP is expected to accept a capped plea in November; Robbie Jablonski, 36, of 18 King St. faces a jury trial this winter; and Cedric Ross, 34, of 157 Rochester Hills Road, Apt. 7, also awaits possible trial.

Jablonski was charged with armed robbery for allegedly brandishing a gun during the home invasion; robbery for allegedly using a box cutter in commission of the crime and falsifying physical evidence for allegedly flushing drugs down a toilet and hiding drug paraphernalia. He faces up to 42 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Monroe was formally charged with armed robbery for allegedly brandishing a gun, robbery for allegedly using a box cutter in commission of the home invasion; felony criminal threatening for allegedly holding a box cutter to an apartment occupant's throat; and being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon, having been convicted in June 2004 of witness tampering. He also faces charges of heroin possession from a Sept. 18 incident. Monroe faces up to 56 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Tiberio, meanwhile, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery for telling the other suspects there were 12 fingers of heroin at the Academy Street apartment and knowing a robbery was going to occur. He faced up to seven years in prison.

Ross is alleged to have brandished what appeared to be a gun during the incident.

Police said they responded to the incident around 9:10 p.m. on Nov. 17 and learned that three males entered the residence, ordered the five people inside to the floor and took an undisclosed amount of money.

Based upon a brief investigation detectives went to the Riviera Motel where they conducted a search warrant on a room as part of the investigation and recovered evidence leading to the arrests.

It should be noted that no one at the Academy St. residence was arrested as a result of the home invasion investigation.
