WILSON, Wis., Sept. 23 (UPI) -- A Sheboygan County, Wis., man has been sentenced to six years in prison after he was convicted of breaking into a home and stealing from a piggy bank.

Prosecutors said Ryan Mueller, 30, broke into a Wilson, Wis., home and took $20 from the piggy bank of a sleeping 2-year-old girl, WISN-TV, Milwaukee, reported Monday.

Mueller was linked to the scene of the crime by blood found at the home, investigators said.

His prison sentence will be followed by an additional six years for an unrelated robbery, authorities said.
