- Life in Prison for Man Who Kidnapped, Murdered Cop's Son

GREENBELT, Md.- A man was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for his role in the kidnap and murder of the son of a District police officer in 2002.
James Everett Flood III, 28, was one of three men charged with abducting Eric Hayes II from a street corner in the District in January 2003. Hayes was driven into Prince George's County, where he was pistol-whipped and shot several times. Police found his body in Temple Hills.
Flood, a District resident, was convicted in October in U.S. District Court of kidnapping, conspiracy and gun charges. In addition to the life sentence for kidnapping leading to death, Judge Peter Messitte also sentenced Flood to 65 years on the conspiracy and gun charges.
Flood's co-defendant in the case, Kenneth Lighty, was sentenced to death by a jury in November - a verdict Messitte is expected to accept at a Feb. 3 sentencing. A third man, Lorenzo Wilson, was convicted of conspiracy to kidnap in a separate trial. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 30.
