Carjacking suspect sentenced

A Connecticut man has been sentenced in connection with a carjacking and a high-speed chase across Rutland County. 22-year-old Mark Hunter will spend more than three years in jail. Hunter is the first of four men accused in the case. Hunter was allowed to plead guilty to possession of stolen property because prosecutors said they didn't have enough evidence to prove that Hunter was involved in the carjacking. 24-year-old George Gaston and 22-year-old Rahe Autry have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
A fourth defendant pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
