A man who escaped from the Jefferson County jail in October 2014 will spend 72 years in prison for escape and the 11-day crime spree that followed.
In January, Travis Edward Sandlin, 34, was found guilty of 33 felony charges, including escape from jail and numerous counts of burglary of a dwelling, aggravated motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, identity theft and trespass of a vehicle. Sandlin was also given a 13-year prison sentence for aggravated motor vehicle theft, to be served concurrent to the 72-year sentence.
When he escaped from jail, Sandlin had five prior felony convictions, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. While the case was pending he was convicted in eight additional felony cases, most of which predated his escape. He was sentenced as a habitual criminal.
Between Oct. 6 and Oct. 15 in 2014, Sandlin stole four cars and took items from them, including a laptop, CDs, credit and debit cards, the sheriff's office said. Vehicles were stolen or broken into in Golden, Evergreen, Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Thornton and Broomfield.
He was arrested on Oct. 15, 2014.
