A Porter man convicted of a 1974 murder in Nobleboro will serve three years in prison after the Maine Parole Board revoked his parole March 5, the Sun Journal reports.
Frank Cugliata, 62, was sentenced to a year in prison after pleading no contest to weapons charges in January after his parole officer found three guns at the residence Cugliata shared with his son last June, according to the Sun Journal.
The parole board found he violated his parole by possessing firearms, according to the Sun Journal report.
Cugliata was convicted in 1975 of murdering 22-year-old Vincent Serra in Nobleboro.
Serra, of Medford, Mass., had pooled money with a friend to buy a 10-pound brick of hash on Aug. 14, 1974, but turned up dead on the roadside of Route 1 in Nobleboro, shot several times with a shotgun and a 9mm pistol or rifle, according to The Lincoln County News archives.
Cugliata, then 22, and John Moraites, then 20, were arrested 11 days later and convicted of the murder the following March.
