A 34-year-old man dubbed the ‘‘bearded bandit’’ has been sentenced to six years and a month in prison for a string of robberies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Justin Worley was sentenced Friday in US District Court in Providence after pleading guilty in March to last year’s robberies of eight banks. He took about $32,000 in all. Prosecutors said Worley entered the banks wearing a fake beard and demanded money. They say he threatened tellers, sometimes with death. (AP)
