OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- An Ogden man who shot his wife's lover to death has been sentenced.
A judge ordered 44-year-old Warren Dee Fellows to serve up to life in prison. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the slaying of 48-year-old Arthur Sherman Backus. It happened back in February in the driveway of Backus' West Haven home.
Fellows also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for pointing a gun at an officer and a passer-by.
Prosecutors say Fellows first shot Backus, who had managed to call 9-1-1 for help. When officers arrived, Fellows pointed a pistol at them. Fellows was later shot twice in the stomach.
