LUDINGTON — A 44-year-old man who has an astonishing total of 41 criminal convictions was sent back to prison after receiving his sentence in Mason County’s 51 Circuit Court Tuesday, Oct. 28.

Ryan Steven Brock was sentenced to 34 months to 15 years in prison for convictions of larceny in a building, possession of cocaine, heroin or another narcotic and fourth-offense habitual offender. Brock has amassed 19 felony convictions and 22 misdemeanor convictions, said Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Beth Hand.

Brock pleaded guilty to his most recent charges Aug. 26, according to court records. One count of breaking and entering a building with intent was dismissed. He stole a home sign, a lamp and a wooden American flag from his father’s neighbor in Eden Township, said Prosecutor Hand.
