DETROIT – A man who was caught on tape beating and robbing an elderly woman in Detroit earlier this year was sentenced Monday to 60 to 100 years.
Surveillance video showed 49-year-old Christopher Elledge on June 28 knocking 70-year-old Annie Smith to the ground inside her apartment building on East Jefferson Avenue.

The video also shows Elledge punching and kicking Smith while she's down. Smith's bridge card and a credit card were stolen.
A citizen's tip led to Elledge's arrest.
Elledge was also sentenced to two other cases, which included the assault of another woman and threatening yet another woman with a gun.
For Smith's case, he was sentenced to 40 to 60 years on first-degree home invasion, 20 to 40 years on unarmed robbery, 10 to 20 years on assault with intent to do great bodily harm and 10 to 15 years on larceny in a building.
His sentences for all three cases will run concurrently.
