OXNARD, Calif. - An Oxnard man who kidnapped a man and committed multiple carjackings has been sentenced to more than 17 years in state prison.
Dionicio Salinas, 29, of Oxnard was sentenced in Ventura County Superior Court on Wednesday.
On June 2, Salinas pleaded guilty to multiple violent crimes that took place between November 2017 and March 2018.
In November 2017, Salinas and an unknown co-conspirator kidnapped a man in Oxnard, robbed him of his wallet and carjacked his vehicle. He was taken into custody after a police pursuit in the city. During the pursuit, Salinas struck a vehicle that was occupied by an elderly couple, the Ventura County District Attorney s Office said.
Elder or dependent adult care custodians are among a handful of positions that are considered to be "mandated reporters," meaning they are required by law to report instances of neglect or abuse.
