DOVER - A former Rochester transient already serving time in state prison in the overdose death of another man pleaded guilty earlier this week to burglarizing a Rochester residence in 2016.

Ryan Kirk, 28, was sentenced on Tuesday to one and a half to three years in state prison, all suspended for five years upon his release from prison.

He must also pay restitution of $1,156 to the victim of the burglary, which occurred on Riverview Drive, plus a 17 percent administrative fee. He was indicted in the Feb. 10, 2016, burglary in October.

Kirk is currently serving an 8- to 16-year sentence in state prison for selling the heroin that killed a local man in June 2016.

According to court records, Kirk was dealing drugs at the Northgate Apartments complex in Rochester when he sold $80 worth of heroin to a man who shared the drugs with Adam Rainaud on June 24, 2016. After taking a couple of doses, Rainaud was found unconscious on the floor of a bathroom. Rainaud was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital, where he died. Kirk was arrested by police after a footchase in Rochester on Oct. 9.

He pleaded guilty to giving the man the drugs that killed him in March of 2017.
