HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Authorities say a “career criminal” is behind bars for his involvement in the kidnapping of a 1-year-old girl who was sleeping in the back of an SUV when it was stolen from her grandmother’s driveway.
At the time, the car was left unlocked and running while the family unloaded items in an effort to not wake the young girl as she slept in a car seat.
The incident sparked an Amber Alert and county-wide search in February by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Baby Tinnley West was later found unharmed in the SUV, which was abandoned at a nearby church parking lot.
