HOUSTON —
A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for abducting two women at gunpoint, making them buy Twinkie snack cakes and caffeine pills, then forcing them on a tour of Christmas lights.
David Lynn Justice, 21, was sentenced Thursday on aggravated assault charges in the December, 1993, abduction of the women outside a Houston restaurant.
Justice told authorities he abducted the women “because he was depressed and wanted some company,” said prosecutor Debbie Mantooth. He later freed them.
