One of three people charged in connection with a burglary at a Hull business has accepted a plea agreement and changed his plea to guilty.
Court records indicate that 34-year-old Jakob Gamboa was originally charged with first-degree theft (a Class C felony), second-degree criminal mischief (a Class D felony), and third-degree burglary (also a Class D felony). The charges stemmed from a burglary investigation that began in late February 2026.
According to authorities, stolen items were recovered during the execution of a search warrant at a home in Hull. Court records indicate that items were recovered from multiple residences connected to both Gamboa and co-defendant Jesse Van Leeuwen. The stolen property is believed to have come from a Hull business and was valued at more than $10,000.
Under the plea agreement, Gamboa pleaded guilty solely to the third-degree burglary charge. The first-degree theft and second-degree criminal mischief charges were dismissed as part of the deal. He was sentenced to a five-year prison term.
The cases against co-defendants Jesse Van Leeuwen and a third individual remain pending in Sioux County District Court.
