Two Men Sentenced in Dyer Act Car Theft Case
James Anthony Wills and Daniel Francis Shorb, both 21, were sentenced to 342 years each in a federal penitentiary by U.S. District Judge William Coleman in Baltimore after pleading guilty to transporting a stolen automobile from Mt. St. Mary’s College to Waynesboro Pennsylvania on July 30.
