by MATTHEW WATKINS | KVII StaffAshton Wayne Simmons Usually, this crime is a second-degree felony with a punishment ranging from two to 20 years in prison. However, because of Simmons ' past convictions and incarceration, his charge was enhanced to the first-degree punishment range of five years to 99 years or life in prison.

Amarillo Police officers responded and found the burglars were still inside the house. When officers tried to coax the burglars out of the house, Simmons and another individual fled to the house's basement.
