Here are the top stories today in Sacramento: Eric Leyva, a man who went on a terrifying three-day crime spree in 2019, has been sentenced to 14 years, 8 months to life in prison. Leyva kidnapped his then-girlfriend's younger sister under threat of violence according to Sacramento Deputy District Attorney Monica Robinson. He then forced the victim at knifepoint to enter a home where a family of eight was living, including three children, Robinson says. Leyva held the victim and family hostage overnight before releasing them. After police used a chemical agent in the home, Leyva surrendered.
