(Anderson, SC). Ralph Lee Rumsey and Stanley Ray Sheriff both pled guilty today in Anderson General Sessions Court to Carjacking charges. The Honorable Lawton McIntosh sentenced each defendant to 20 years suspended to 14 years in prison with 3 years probation to follow.
On May 18, 2008, Evatt and Sheriff drove an RV owned by their employer, an exterminating company, to the home of the victims, who were a prior customer of the exterminating company. The defendants asked the elderly couple for help, claiming the RV had a dead battery and needed to be jumped. When the victim returned to the RV with jumper cables to help the defendants, Rumsey held a knife to her and told her to get out of the truck or he would kill her. The victim ran inside her house as Rumsey and Sheriff drove off in her truck. The truck was recovered in Georgia. The defendants were arrested in Alabama and extradicted back to SC.
“This was a senseless and violent act that has truly affected these victims who were only trying to help. It is a sad reminder that you never know what form or under what circumstances violence could strike. These defendants, however, will not be able to terrorize any more victims in our community for years to come.” Solicitor Chrissy Adams.
