Traci Lynn Wilson, 46, was arrested in October 2007 and charged with kidnapping and aggravated kidnapping after police officials say he took two children from in front of a home in the 1300 block of Tucson to an old motor home parked at a shop in the 1600 block of E. Third Street.

In April 2008 it took the jury — comprised of nine women and three men — less than an hour to find Wilson guilty on charges of kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, a first-degree felony, and kidnapping, a third-degree felony.

Wilson requested his sentencing be decided by 118th District Court Judge Robert H. Moore III instead of by a jury. Wilson was sentenced to 10 years on one charge and 20 on the other, to run concurrently.
