LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for binding and blindfolding two of his children in a Wal-Mart parking lot in eastern Kansas.
6News Lawrence reports that 53-year-old Adolfo Gomez also was ordered during Wednesday’s sentencing hearing in Douglas County District Court to serve two years of probation.
