(AP) — A northeast Kansas man has been sentenced to 10 years for his role in a carjacking that led to a chase at up to 112 miles per hour.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says 26-year-old Terry Tillman, of Kansas City, Kan., was sentenced Tuesday in federal court. Tillman pleaded guilty in August to one count of carjacking.
The crime took place May 26 at a gas station in Kansas City, Kan. Tillman admitted he and another man robbed a minivan driver of a wallet and keys while a third co-defendant held the driver at gunpoint.
The men drove off in the minivan and led police on a 17-minute chase before the vehicle wrecked in a plowed field in Basehor (BAY’-sur).
Three other defendants are awaiting sentence. Two more are still facing trials.
