NORWICH – Admitted felon Derek Nutter, of Bainbridge, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in state prison on Monday after pleading guilty to second degree attempted burglary – a class D felony – and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

The charges stem from a pair of burglaries which took place in July of 2010 in the towns of Bainbridge and Afton. Nutter will also be required to pay restitution of approximately $3,500 to the victims of the crime upon his release and received an additional five years of post-release supervision.
