Sports in Brief | Camacho could get seven years after guilty plea to burglary

Three-time boxing champion

Hector "Macho" Camacho

was sent to jail yesterday in Gulfport, Miss., after pleading guilty to a 2004 burglary charge involving a local computer store.

Camacho faces up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Sentencing was delayed.

Camacho was arrested in January 2005 on the burglary charge, and also was charged with drug possession after police said they found ecstasy in his hotel room. His trial on the drug charge is tentatively set for June.

Camacho said he had bought a laptop from the computer store but had left it there to be repaired. He was trying to retrieve his computer in the break-in, his attorney, David Morrison, said.

Wayne Woodall, the attorney for business owners Solomon and Samantha Wheeler, said Camacho fell through the ceiling, cut himself, urinated inside the office, and left with seven laptops and about $5,600 in checks and cash.
