ST. LOUIS (AP) — A bounty hunter has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping a suburban St. Louis woman — an abduction he claimed was part of his job. A federal jury in St. Louis convicted 45-year-old Wayne Lozier in September on charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. The New Orleans area man was sentenced Wednesday. The woman was wanted for alleged misdemeanor crimes in Louisiana. Federal prosecutors say Lozier and his partner took the woman against her will from a home in St. Peters, Missouri. When she sought help at a gas station, the bounty hunters subdued her with a stun gun. She was eventually dropped off at a Mississippi detention center.
