BOISE, Idaho (AP) – An Idaho carjacking suspect who was arrested on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana has been sentenced to up to 13 years in prison for attempted second-degree kidnapping and escape.
Rodney Lee Seiber of Caldwell pleaded guilty to the charges in August under a plea agreement that calls for him to spend at least six years in prison.
Seiber was being sought by law enforcement after a van was stolen at knifepoint in Nampa in September 2013. Court records say the suspect fled into a corn field after crashing the van. Seiber was located the next week at a motel in Hardin, Montana, with his 18-year-old girlfriend.
He fled, but was arrested a few days later. On his return trip to Idaho he briefly escaped from transport guards at a Boise convenience store.
