North Carolina man gets maximum sentence for 2021 murder
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WAVE) – A North Carolina man found guilty of killing a Wisconsin man in Jeffersonville will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Christopher Tandy was sentenced to 65 years for the 2021 shooting death of Rodrick Wallace. Police found Wallace’s body on the side of Edgewood Way in the Oak Park subdivision on July 23, 2021.
Tandy was arrested in North Carolina days later. The court found him guilty and the judge gave him the maximum sentence allowed in Indiana.
“I’m very pleased with the court’s decision today,” Clark County Deputy Prosecutor Calvin Blank said. “I believe it was appropriate in this instance. The crime of murder is highest in which we have in Indiana and we were able to prove that the defendant did it and he received the sentence that is appropriate under Indiana law.”
Tandy was given 55 years for murder and auto theft and another 10 years for being a felon with a firearm.
