MILFORD — Justin Bonner of Stratford on Thursday was sentenced to 35 years in prison in the kidnap, rape and severe beating of a Shelton convenience store clerk in 2010.
He was on PCP, or “angel dust,” during the incident, which began when the victim was working alone at 2:30 June 1 at the Cumberland Farms, 819 River Road, police had alleged.
Bonner in October pleaded guilty to sexual assault and robbery, both in the first degree. He has been jailed since his arrest in June 2010.
