Canyon Country Kidnapping Suspect Returns To Court
A Canyon Country kidnapping suspect appeared in court Tuesday for a restitution hearing for damages incurred when he carjacked his ex-girlfriend and took her vehicle while their 3-month-old twins were inside, officials said.
James O’Neal, 26, was arrested in July 2020 on several different felony charges including carjacking, domestic violence, child abduction without right and false imprisonment, officials said.
O’Neal pleaded no contest to the charges laid against him on Jan. 8, and was sentenced to three years in prison, according to Ricardo Santiago, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
