Waterford — A man was extradited Wednesday from a New Hampshire prison to face charges in Connecticut that allege he participated in a 2011 home invasion in Waterford.

Reginald Green, 25, who was in custody at the Merrimack County Correctional Facility in Boscawen, was charged with home invasion, third-degree burglary, second-degree assault and first-degree kidnapping.

Police did not say why Green was in custody in New Hampshire.

Last year, police charged Benjamin Stavens of New London and Matthew Hamler of Waterford in connection with the case.

They were each charged with conspiracy to commit home invasion, conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to commit first-degree kidnapping.

Hamler is accused of arranging the break-in into the home of Alex "Booger" Pignataro at 64 Cross Road. Pignataro, a one-time friend, was beat up in retaliation for a marijuana transaction that had gone awry, according to an arrest warrant.

Pignataro told police he woke up about 8 a.m. on Aug. 3, 2011, to find several men in his bedroom dressed in dark clothing, gloves and black masks, according to the affidavit.

He said they pulled him out of his bed, tied him up with cords from his laptop computer and began punching and kicking him in the head, face and body. He said one of them asked him about money and struck him in the face with a gun. He said he lost consciousness and was being kicked in the ribs when he awakened.

He said his attackers also tied up his girlfriend and forced her into a closet.

Pignataro said he recognized the suspects' voices because he graduated from high school with them and they used to be friends.

During the incident, he suffered abrasions on his knees, neck and right arm, bumps on his head and forehead, a puncture wound on his left cheek, cut and swollen lips, three chipped teeth and one lost tooth, according to the affidavit. He was treated at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.

During a lengthy investigation, police interviewed several people who said they knew all of the men and had heard about the incident, according to the affidavit. One witness said the home invasion had become "the talk of the town."

In November 2011, Pignataro asked the police to withdraw his complaint and stop investigating, according to the affidavit.

He said that he and Hamler had distributed marijuana while living together in East Lyme. He said that Hamler had given him $64,000 and instructed him and another man to fly to California to purchase marijuana.

He said agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration seized the money at Newark Liberty International Airport, but Hamler believed Pignataro still had the money and arranged the home invasion.

Green is being held on a $150,000 bond, pending his arraignment in Superior Court in New London.
