AUGUSTA -- The fourth and final suspect in a Windsor home invasion a year ago got the longest sentence today.
Jacob McInnis, 23, of Windsor and Sanford was ordered to spend 19 and a half years behind bars for robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, kidnapping, burglary and theft at the home of Shirley and Eugene Varney.
In that crime, Eugene Varney, 64, a mentally disabled man in a wheelchair, was tied to a refrigerator for several hours, his hands bound, while his home was ransacked.
Justice Donald Marden sentenced McInnis to 25 years in prison, with all but 16 years suspended, and four years probation for the July 8, 2007, crime.
McInnis was on probation for a burglary and theft in York County at the time of the Windsor home invasion, and Marden revoked that probation and ordered McInnis to serve the remaining three and a half years of that prison term consecutive to the Kennebec County sentence.
A jury had convicted McInnis of the home invasion charges on June 27.
The co-defendants, two of McInnis's brothers and a fourth man, had pleaded guilty to the crimes and were sentenced previously.
James McInnis Jr., 27, was sentenced to 20 years in prison with all but eight years suspended and four years' probation; Joshua McInnis, 25, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with all but eight years suspended and four years of probation; Mark Miville, 34, was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with all but 12 years suspended and four years' probation.
