BANGOR – A Hartland man was sentenced Thursday in Penobscot County Superior Court to 20 years in prison with all but 10 years suspended for an armed home invasion in November in Newburgh.

Dustin Hodgdon, 20, also known as Dustin McGregor, also was sentenced to four years of probation.

Hodgdon will serve that sentence concurrently with a sentence for similar crimes imposed Wednesday in Somerset County Superior Court in Skowhegan.

Hodgdon was arrested in December by the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department and charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of assault in connection with the Newburgh incident.

In pleading guilty to the charges, Hodgdon admitted that he and two other men broke into a North Road home in November, displayed their weapons and fled with an undisclosed amount of money and some items belonging to family members who were home at the time.

No one was injured.

Mark J. Harris, 32 of Pittsfield and Michael Ely, 22, of Plymouth also were charged in connection with the incident.

On Wednesday, Hodgdon pleaded guilty in Somerset County Superior Court in Skowhegan to five counts of burglary and six counts of theft in connection with a series of break-ins at homes in Hartland in March and November 2006. Hodgdon also pleaded guilty to forgery, probation violation, violation of conditions of release, illegal attachment of plates and operating after suspension.

His combined sentence for those crimes was 10 years and 10 days, with all but three years suspended, and $4,170 restitution.

The status of the charges against Harris and Ely could not be determined Thursday.
