Two Austin men are headed to county jail after admitting their roles in a late-summer burglary that rattled the city’s West Campus neighborhood. On Friday, Jason Sailors was sentenced to 180 days in county jail, while Calvin Guyton received a six-month county term under plea deals tied to the September 2025 incident.

Guyton pleaded guilty to burglary of a building and was sentenced to six months in county jail, with 115 days of credit noted in the records.
