B: Man sentenced for beating elderly woman, pouring fire ants on her

MACON, Ga., Dec 03, 2002 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- A man was sentenced to
15 years in prison for severely beating his girlfriend's grandmother, pouring
fire ants on her and stealing US$300 and her car.

Pearsall Leroy Gerald, 19, was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to
aggravated assault and other charges.

Gerald told police he attacked the 62-year-old woman on June 12 because he hated
her and because he needed money to pay off a debt to a drug dealer, prosecutor
Elizabeth Bobbitt said. The victim was beaten with a 1.2-meter (4-foot) stick
and kicked repeatedly in the face.

"Her face was not even recognizable," Bobbitt said. "It looked like raw meat."
