29-year-old New Brunswick woman drove dealer to New York, where he slashed a customer's throat
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- A New Jersey woman who served as the getaway driver after a drug dealer robbed and killed a customer was sentenced to three years in prison last week.
Andre Beatty, 29, of New Brunswick will also be subject to five years of supervised release after competing her prison term, according to court papers.
Beatty drove Anthony Grecco and an unnamed third man to an apartment in Ossining, N.Y. on Aug. 26, 2014.
Carrying a backpack full of linens to make it appear as if it contained drugs, Grecco entered the apartment, slashed the 25-year-old resident's throat and stole $8,900 while Beatty waited outside.
When they returned to a rooming house in New Brunswick, Grecco handed Beatty the money, showered and asked Beatty where he could dispose of his blood-stained clothing, according to documents.
Beatty previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery, aiding and abetting robbery, aiding and abetting murder and conspiracy to distribute narcotics. Her sentencing took place Thursday in White Plains, N.Y.
Grecco, 35, of Manville, was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month.
