Crownsville teen gets 20 years for murder
An Anne Arundel County teenager was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison for the murder of a drug dealer, the county state's attorney's office said. Ross Womick Jr., 16, of Crownsville pleaded guilty in November to first-degree murder in the death of Krey Jermaine Green, 23, in October 2007. Womick was a high school freshman when he and a friend's father, Wayne Lewis Milburn Sr., smoked crack and then met Green in Crownsville to buy more drugs, prosecutors said. Milburn shot Green in the head with a gun brought by Womick, drove the body to a wooded area and doused the car with gasoline, and Womick set the car on fire, according to court testimony. Last month, Milburn, 43, was sentenced to life in prison with all but 20 years suspended. On Monday, Anne Arundel Circuit Judge William C. Mulford II sentenced Womick to life in prison with all but 20 years suspended and recommended that he be held at Patuxent Institution in Jessup.
