BANGOR — A 22-year-old Grindstone man was sentenced Jan. 10 to six years in prison for his role in the brutal attack of a Greenbush woman in a 2012 home invasion during a hearing at the Penobscot Judicial Center, according to a WABI report.
Ryan Petrin, 22, pleaded guilty to charges of robbery, burglary, aggravated assault and assault on a child under 6, according to the Bangor television station.
Petrin’s alleged accomplice, 24-year-old Nicholas Hutchinson of Medway, is scheduled for trial next month.
The two were indicted by a Penobscot County grand jury in October 2012, according to the Bangor Daily News archives.
Petrin was indicted on one count of robbery, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of assault, while Hutchinson was indicted on the same charges as well as one count of terrorizing.
The charges stem from a home invasion in Greenbush about 1 a.m. on Sept. 3, 2012, in which the two broke into a woman’s home.
The victim, Marcia Fieger, and her two children, ages 3 and 5, were asleep when the two men, who were wearing masks, broke in through her son’s bedroom and sprayed her with a fire extinguisher and Mace, then beat her with the extinguisher and a tire iron. Fieger told police that the duo demanded money and methadone, according to court documents.
One of Fieger’s children suffered minor injuries in the attack.
Fieger had nearly $6,000 in cash in her purse inside the trailer from a student loan payment she had recently cashed, court documents said.
