WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 32-year-old Wichita man who stole a vehicle with three children inside has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison.
Jason Barajas pleaded guilty in October to theft and aggravated endangering a child. He was sentenced Tuesday to 47 months in prison. On June 19, 2019, a Wichita woman reported that she left her three children in a van when she went inside a convenience store.
The children were 2, 1 and eight months old. Police say the keys were left in the van and Barajas jumped in and drove away.
The van was found 30 minutes later abandoned with the children inside.
