WACO, Texas—A man who fled on a bicycle after burglarizing an elderly woman’s home was sentenced to life to prison.
Jurors deliberated about 45 minutes Wednesday before recommending the maximum prison term for Gary Wayne Willoughby, 47, whose felony conviction a day earlier was his 10th since 1981. He first went to prison at age 17 for breaking into a San Antonio home.
Willoughby, described by his attorney as nonviolent but with a lifelong drug problem, will be eligible for parole in 15 years, court officials said.
