REISTERSTOWN, Md. (WJZ) -- A Reisterstown man was sentence Friday to ten years in prison and five years of supervised release in connection with a 2018 armed carjacking.

In a plea agreement, Mouhamed Camara, 29, admitted to taking a woman's 2010 Toyota Corolla at gunpoint on January 9, 2018, while she was scraping ice off the windows.

Camara was sentenced for carjacking and using, carrying and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
