A Bristol Township man will serve seven to 18 years in state prison for a chaotic morning that happened last year.
Anthony Thomas Clayborn, 30, was sentenced this week by Bucks County Judge Diane Gibbons after he pleaded guilty to burglary, indecent exposure, simple assault, criminal trespass, and prowling at night, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said.

Clayborn was high on methamphetamine around 1 a.m. on April 20 last year when he broke into a home on Venice Avenue and went into a woman’s room. The woman awoke to find the 30 year old standing over her with no clothes on. The woman freaked out and Clayborn punched her in the face before fleeing. Residents in the home rushed to the injured woman’s aid, authorities said.
The woman had one of her teeth knocked out by Clayborn, prosecutors said.
On the same morning, Clayborn approached a woman on Lloyd Street while calling her “mommy” as he came toward her. Clayborn ran away after the woman poked him with an umbrella, authorities said.

Before the burglary and assault, Clayborn entered a shed with clothes on and later came out without his shirt and jacket. After, he approached the rear door of a home and attempted to open it. He was spotted and fled. Moments later, he entered a nearby home and went upstairs before being confronted and running away, authorities said.
Police were able to eventually find Clayborn around 6 a.m. not far from where the incidents happened. He was only wearing a towel when he was arrested.

In addition to his wild morning, Clayborn has admitted to a separate incident in which he exposed himself at the Wawa at Route 13 and Green Lane in 2018. He was reported to be on wearing only pants, rambling about being chased, and on meth.
In the 2018 case, Clayborn pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced this week to five years of probation concurrent to his state prison term.
