Rico Antonio Funderburk

Rico Funderburk was sentenced to 80 years in prison after he beat his girlfriend with a tire iron, a socket wrench and a baseball bat, causing traumatic injuries in Horry County, South Carolina.

A jury took just an hour to convict a man of a brutal South Carolina assault in which he beat and burned his girlfriend, requiring her to escape and run barefoot and bloodied to a nearby Walmart, authorities say.

The judge on Friday sentenced Rico Antonio Funderburk to serve 30 years for kidnapping; 30 years for first-degree criminal sexual conduct; and 20 years for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The sentences will run consecutively for a total of 80 years and the punishment is the maximum penalty for each charge.
