LUDINGTON — A 58-year-old Ludington man was sentenced in 51st Circuit Court Tuesday, June 7, to serve 11 months up front of a one-year jail term for two counts of failure to register as a sex offender.

Robin Jon Sarres, of 706 N. Emily St., who pleaded guilty to both counts, has a “lengthy criminal history” that dates back to 1975 in multiple states, said Mason County Prosecutor Paul Spaniola. Judge Susan K. Sniegowski followed the plea agreement, which called for an 11-month upfront jail term. Sniegowski said the sentencing guidelines were 10-34 months.

The judge noted Sarres’ 11 prior misdemeanors and four prior felonies, many of which are alcohol-related convictions.

Sniegowski also ordered that Sarres serve probation two years. He received credit for 172 days served in jail.
