AUGUSTA (AP) — One of three people charged with participating in a home invasion in Waterville has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Junious Liggins of Waterville pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravated criminal trespass and two counts of assault. In exchange, the state dismissed three other charges, including robbery.
Prosecutors say Liggins and two others, including a 14-year-old girl, broke into an apartment in October, pushed an occupant down and held him at knife point. Police say a wallet containing $50 and a cellphone were stolen.
