More Jail Time for Craigslist Robber

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A man already serving 50 years in prison for a string of Craigslist robberies will be spending a little more time there.

That's because 19 year old Tahj Thomas has admitted to raping a woman he attacked outside her apartment complex on the southeast side of Fort Wayne. 

According to the Journal-Gazette, Thomas made a plea deal with Allen County prosecutors to one count of rape and one count of robbery.

He could receive up to 35 years in prison in late August that would run consecutive to the 50 years he's already serving for a string of Craigslist robberies in 2014.
