MAN SENTENCED FOR STARBUCKS IMPRISONMENT

The Bakersfield man convicted of locking a Starbucks employee in a bathroom has been sentenced to 18 months in jail.

Last year’s incident on Ming Avenue and Ashe Road came a few days before 31-year-old Larry Thomas was arrested for attempting to sexually assault a woman in her apartment near Gosford Road. He was acquitted of those charges.
