LIVINGSTON - A man charged with several violent crimes throughout the capital area was given a life sentence after he removed his ankle monitor during a crime spree that left a woman dead.

Earlier this month, Terrell Anthony was found guilty of first-degree murder after the 2019 attack where he held several people hostage in a Watson-area home and waited for the victim, Jessica Clark. Anthony shot Clark once she arrived at the house.
