Bronx Man Who Killed Woman With Screwdriver Gets 25 Years In Prison
A man who stabbed his sister-in-law in the head with a screwdriver in a financial dispute over a green card scam was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison, authorities said.
Anderson Scrubb, 52, was convicted last month of second-degree murder in the death of Gloria Boney, his 69-year-old sister-in-law.
Brooklyn prosecutors said that Scrubb made a deal with Jocelyn Ford, the victim’s sister, to marry her for $3,000 in exchange for a green card.
After he tied the knot with Ford, prosecutors said Scrubb demanded more money from the family. He went to Boney’s apartment on Aug. 12 to discuss the situation, and the fight escalated.
Scrubb, who was on parole, strangled Boney and stabbed her repeatedly in the head with the screwdriver. After the killing her, Scrubb stole Boney’s credit cards and gave them to a friend who intended to use them illegally, prosecutors said.
Police linked the credit cards to Scrubb and arrested him the day after Boney’s slaying.
