A man accused of kidnapping a juvenile could spend the next 5 years behind bars.
Lindsey Tibbs was sentenced to 1 to 5 years for unlawful assault Monday in Judge J.D. Beane's courtroom.
Tibbs was arrested in February 2007.
Police say he allegedly kidnapped a juvenile after a drug deal gone bad.
Authorities say Tibbs and another individual demanded money and then assaulted the victim.
He was orginally charged with kidnapping, which is a capital offense.
Tibbs pleaded guilty to the unlawful assault charge in a plea agreement with the state.
He's in the North Central Regional Jail.
