"Grand Theft Auto" in real life

Fortunately, no one takes video games seriously.

Gang member gets 30 years for real life crime spree

LONG BEACH, California ― An admitted gang member has been sentenced to 30 years to life in state prison for a 2007 crime spree that included holding an Orange County judge at gunpoint during a burglary of her home.

Prosecutors say 26-year-old Sam Fields was sentenced in Long Beach Superior Court Thursday [June 4, 2009] for two misdemeanor counts and 47 felonies, including carjacking, robbery, grand theft auto, kidnapping, and other charges.

Fields was arrested in November 2007 a day after he burglarized the home of an Orange County Superior Court judge. He had already been charged with 27 counts in a crime spree that began a month earlier in Long Beach. The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says no plea deal was offered. Source
