Richard Guante was sentenced on Tuesday, Feb. 21 on the charges, for which he must serve 85 percent of the sentence before being eligible for parole.
On Dec. 13, 2020, Guante eluded police after officers of the Egg Harbor Township Police Department attempted to stop him. Instead, he led police on a high-speed chase with his vehicle’s speed reaching more than 100 mph, the prosecutor said.
Guante hindered his own apprehension on Feb. 9, 2021, by providing officers of the Atlantic City Police Department a fake name during an unrelated investigation.
Finally, on March 9, 2021, Guante committed robbery when he approached the victim on her porch in Atlantic City and ripped her purse off her shoulder and fled in an SUV, the prosecutor said.
