COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Hope resident received a 12-year prison sentence after admitting to a carjacking that seriously injured an elderly woman and her daughter last year.
Kenneth Wentworth Jr., 28, Columbus was ordered Tuesday to serve a dozen years behind bars after he entered into a plea bargain agreement in the carjacking case. Wentworth pleaded guilty to a felony charge of attempted robbery resulting in bodily injury and misdemeanor battery resulting in bodily injury.
The sentence, handed down Tuesday by Bartholomew Superior Court 1 Judge Jim Worton, was just four years short of the maximum allowed by Indiana law for the Level 3 felony.
