PRINCETON, W.Va. (AP) – A woman who admitted she robbed and brutally attacked her boyfriend’s 81-year-old mother has been sentenced.
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph reports 41-year-old Angela M. Graham was sentenced Monday. She received a determinate sentence of 60 years for the first-degree robbery charge and three to 15 years for attempted murder in the beating of Patricia Hartley.
Bluefield police said Graham and her boyfriend, 44-year-old Wayne W. Hartley, were arrested Jan. 20 after Hartley’s mother was found beaten in her home with a baseball bat and rolling pin. Her wrist also had been cut with a paring knife.
A detective’s incident report said that after Graham carried out the attack, she and Wayne Hartley left with a stolen debit card and withdrew cash that they used to buy drugs.
