GREENBELT, MD. – U.S. District Judge Theodore J. Chuang sentenced Anthony Lamont Payne, 27, of District Heights, Maryland, today to five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for involuntary manslaughter in connection with a fatal car crash that occurred on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway on March 20, 2015.  A federal jury convicted Payne on January 19, 2016.

Rosenstein. “Payne’s atrocious criminal conduct caused the tragic death of Terrance Terrelle Lagrue, a 19-year-old man.”

Payne was let off of previous charges of having a gun in his car and in his possession by Prince Georges County States Attorney Angela Alsobrooks. The gun charges placed against him on Feb. 16, 2013, by Prince Georges County Police Officer Hopkins were dropped on June 26, 2013, almost two years before Payne killed Lagrue – with a gun in a vehicle the linchpin for ending the life of the victim in a road-rage outrage.

Payne has been detained since his arrest on April 28, 2015.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the U.S. Park Police for its work in the investigation.  Mr. Rosenstein thanked the Assistant United States Attorney Hollis Raphael Weisman and Special Assistant United States Attorney Conor Mulroe, who prosecuted the case.
