(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – A 50 year prison sentence was handed to a Cincinnati man who shot a person in an ambush robbery in Sunman.

Anthony Stansbury was convicted by a Dearborn County jury in October on charges of Attempted Aggravated Battery, Attempted Robbery, and being a Habitual Offender.

Dearborn Superior Court I Judge Jonathan Cleary sentenced the 30-year-old to a 50 year prison term during a court hearing last month. Stansbury’s earliest release from the Indiana Department of Corrections would be in 2035, when he is 55.

Stansbury led an ambush robbery and attack on a victim at a home on Norkus Road in Sunman on October 11, 2010. Stansbury beat and shot the victim, who suffered a superficial gunshot wound.

Stansbury was assisted in the attack by three other individuals: Erica L. King, 25, of Cincinnati; Perry J. “Jamie” Peak, 37, Sunman; and Kelly L. Buchert, 27, West Harrison.

Running for police, Stansbury and King were caught in a northern Kentucky hotel over a week after the attack.
