MIDLAND -- A Midland man will spend 10 years in federal prison, after he tried to kidnap a minor.
Tomas Diaz was sentenced late last week. After that sentence is up, Diaz will be on supervised release for 35 years.
Police say Diaz used myspace.com to chat with a 16-year-old girl in Ranger. He also sent sexually explicit pictures. He then drove out there and tried to pull her out of class, saying he was a relative.
The school got suspicious and called police, and Diaz was later arrested and charged.
