Man Sentenced 15 Years After Home Invasion | Albany News

A man named Thomas Sorensen, 46, just received a 15-year prison sentence after breaking into his wife’s home—despite a court order telling him to stay away. He yelled, stole her phone, and grabbed a machete from the garage before police caught him with it. Found guilty on multiple charges including burglary and endangering his kids, he bizarrely testified he wanted to see his family one last time before being shot by cops. Police subdued him with a stun gun, sparing his life to face justice. Now held in Albany County jail, he’ll serve his sentence plus five years of post-release supervision—a chilling case that underscores how domestic violence can spiral into deadly chaos and why legal safeguards and law enforcement are vital for family safety.
