ALFRED, Maine (AP) An Old Orchard Beach man is going to prison for 40 years for murdering his roommate last year.

A judge imposed the maximum sentence under a plea agreement for Dustan Bentley on Tuesday.

Bentley pleaded guilty in February to murder in the death of 65-year-old William Popplewell, who was beaten, stabbed and strangled with a ligature in March 2019. Popplewell was in frail health and used a walker.
