SALEM - A Revere man with a record dating back to 1999 when he targeted at least 14 religious institutions and organizations, stealing cash and sellable items to support his addiction, will spend up to five years in prison after admitting he hit St. John's School in Peabody in 2002.

Ryan K. Papillon, 31, who last lived at 230 Lantern Road in Revere, pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon in Salem Superior Court to breaking and entering a building with intent to commit a felony, destruction of property over $250 and larceny over $250 in connection with the break-in at St. John's School in July of 2002.
