FARMINGTON, Utah (AP) — A Utah man who pleaded guilty to tying up five people in a basement was sentenced Monday to serve at least 30 years up to life in prison, clearing the way for him to face murder charges in Wyoming.
Dereck James "DJ" Harrison, 23, is charged with killing a Salt Lake City train worker on the way to a remote Wyoming hideout with his father.
