FORT HOOD (October 2, 2009)--A Fort Hood soldier was sentenced to three years in prison and dishonorably discharged Friday for spinning a kidnapping hoax to cover his absence without leave.
Pfc. James Andrew Gonzalez was sentenced after he pleaded guilty at a Fort Hood court-martial to charges that included desertion, making false official statements and obstruction of justice.
He faced a possible sentence of more than 22 years' confinement and a dishonorable discharge.
His brother, J.C. Gonzalez, had said the FBI told the family the Army received a ransom call on July 13 in which the caller said the soldier had been abducted and demanded $100,000 and withdrawal of U.S. troops from the border.
Gonzalez was arrested unharmed on July 22 after traffic stop in Laredo.
