A Marriottsville man was sentenced to 17 years in state prison after pleading guilty to carjacking yesterday in Carroll Circuit Court.
Judge Francis M. Arnold originally sentenced Anthony Frank Brigandi Jr., 30, to 22 years but suspended five years and placed him on five years of supervised probation after his release.
Brigandi and another man robbed the Crown Service Station in the 6400 block of Ridge Road in Eldersburg at 12: 45 a.m. Aug. 2 and abducted attendant William Patterson, according to court records. They forced the attendant into his 1990 Toyota Corolla and drove him to Howard County where he was forced out of the car, court records said.
