Utah sex offender gets prison for trying to pick up children in stolen school bus
A convicted sex offender and prison parolee has been sentenced to prison for stealing a school bus in Emery County last year and driving it around while trying to pick up children.
Patrick James Fredericksen — who is also listed as Frederickson and Fredrickson and Fredricksen in Utah court records over the years — was charged in 7th District Court with first-degree felony attempted child kidnapping, two counts of second-degree felony theft, one count of third-degree felony theft and class B misdemeanor driving with a measurable amount of a controlled substance for a series of crimes in March 2015.
On Wednesday, Fredericksen, 31, pleaded no contest to the four felonies and the misdemeanor was dismissed as part of a plea deal in which prosecutors recommended concurrent prison terms.
Judge Joseph Bean, who followed the recommendation, immediately sentenced Fredericksen to serve one to 15 years at the Utah State Prison.
