A former Blackwood resident was sentenced Tuesday in Superior Court in Gloucester County to 12 years in state prison for robbing and slashing the throat of a cabdriver in Deptford Township in June 2010.
Randy S. James Jr., 22, of Secane, pleaded guilty in March to first-degree robbery, the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office said. James is accused of robbing $85 from a cabdriver who picked him up on June 1 in Clementon. James used a knife and a hammer or hatchet in the assault and robbery, which occurred in the Locust Grove section.
