Teen gets 30 years in fatal shooting
A Baltimore teenager was sentenced to 30 years in prison yesterday for fatally shooting another teen after a fight last year, the city state's attorney's office said. Tevin Moultrie, 17, of the 1600 block of Cliftview Ave., was also sentenced to 20 years for the use of a handgun in a crime of violence and one year each on two counts of reckless endangerment, all to be served concurrently. Moultrie pleaded guilty in March to shooting Steven Washington, 17, in the 1600 block of Cliftview Ave. after an altercation on March 13, 2007. The victim died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Registered sex offender charged with rape
A registered sex offender has been arrested and charged in the rape last month of a 14-year-old girl in Reservoir Hill. Court documents allege that Bruce Stanley Jones, 39, grabbed the girl from behind as she walked home from school Sept. 18 and took her to a nearby apartment building and raped her. Jones, who pleaded guilty to a third-degree sex offense in Baltimore County in 2002, was convicted last year of failing to register as a sex offender and failing to register his current address. He has been charged with second-degree rape, second- and third-degree sex offense, and second-degree assault. He was arrested Oct. 1 and is being held without bail.
