Illegal immigrant gets 27 years for violent 2007 kidnapping
Last Update: 10/26 9:04 pm
PHOENIX (AP) -- An illegal immigrant has been sentenced to 27 years in prison in connection with a violent kidnapping of a man from the parking lot of a Phoenix grocery store.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 24-year-old Noe Mendoza-Tapia pleaded guilty to one of three counts against him -- misconduct involving weapons -- on the first day of his trail and he was later convicted of kidnapping and theft by extortion.
Mendoza-Tapia, who told police that he illegally entered the U.S. three years ago, was sentenced last Friday.
Prosecutors say Mendoza-Tapia and two other defendants held the victim hostage in October 2007 and threatened to kill him if the victim's wife did not pay $100,000.
Undercover detectives found and arrested the three suspects and rescued the victim, who was bound and blindfolded inside the bedroom of a house.
The two other defendants pleaded guilty in the case and been sentenced to prison.
