A Connecticut man on Tuesday pleaded no contest to manslaughter stemming from the fatal shooting of an egg farm worker in Turner last year.
Michael Warbin, 45, of Franklin, Conn., was sentenced to spend 45 days in jail. He was sentenced to three years in prison, with most of that time suspended. Following his release, he will be on probation for four years.
He also was ordered to perform 500 hours of community service that is focused on firearm safety. Warbin was charged a year ago with manslaughter for shooting a worker at the former DeCoster egg farm. He had been free on a $20,000 unsecured bond. The Class A felony was punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
