BANGOR — A 50-year-old Maine man has been sentenced to 100 months in prison for stealing dozens of handguns from a gun dealer.

John Woodley of Winthrop was sentenced Monday in federal court in Bangor. He was also ordered to pay restitution.

According to court records, Woodley stole 36 guns from Audette’s Hardware and Sporting Goods Store in Winthrop last August after gaining entry by prying back the roof. Prosecutors said Woodley had multiple felony convictions on his record and was prohibited from possessing firearms.
