The Man Who Attempted To Kidnap Sonya Deville Sentenced

The Man Who Attempted To Kidnap Sonya Deville Sentenced

Three years ago, Phillip A. Thomas II was arrested inside Sonya Deville’s home while possessing a knife, duct tape, and mace. Thomas would admit to police at the scene that he was planning on kidnapping the WWE star and was subsequently charged with aggravated stalking, armed burglary of a dwelling, attempted armed kidnapping, and criminal mischief and faced life imprisonment.

Nevertheless, it was later learned from court documents that two doctors gave testimony after evaluating Thomas, and it was deemed he wasn’t mentally competent to stand trial. Instead, Thomas was committed to the Florida State Hospital, which treats patients with severe mental disabilities.

Now though, things have changed, as according to PWInsider.com, Thomas was officially sentenced on April 17th to 15 years of imprisonment, followed by the same amount of time probation. However, he was credited for the three years he had already served in the hospital.

Thomas was sentenced to 15 years in prison, followed by 15 years of probation, and 50 hours of community service. Thomas was given credit for 975 days served as a stipulated credit.

Deville recently found herself in legal difficulties following this terrible situation, as she was arrested in New Jersey for having a firearm in her vehicle. It is understood, though, that WWE was supportive and understanding of what she had gone through due to her situation with Thomas, and she was only carrying the women for protection. It is now understood she is working to have the arrest thrown out due to having a permit in Florida.
