WAUPACA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – One of two men convicted of beating another man to death has learned his sentence.
25-year-old Adam Ozuna, will spend 30 years in prison and another 10 years on extended supervision for the 2016 death of Matthew Pagel.
Ozuna pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of first-degree reckless homicide earlier this year.
A count of robbery was dismissed, but the judge was able to consider it when sentencing Ozuna.
According to prosecutors, last April, Ozuna and Zachary Hohn allegedly picked Pagel up from a motel in Clintonville where Pagel was living.
Pagel was looking to buy the drug Adderall and had been exchanging text messages with Ozuna and Hohn, prosecutors say.
Ozuna and Hohn offered to drive Pagel to get some Adderall, but instead beat him to death in the car and robbed him.
They ended up with $200 and Pagel’s jacket.
17-year-old Hohn, also reached a plea deal last week.
He is due to be sentenced in August.
