The Pensacola man who kidnapped his girlfriend and her son and stabbed them multiple times was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday.
Tamondo Reuben pleaded no contest back in December to attempted first-degree premeditated murder, attempted second-degree murder and two counts of kidnapping to inflict bodily harm. He faced life in prison on three of the four counts.
However, his plea agreement set an incarceration cap of 25 years, which prevented him from serving three life sentences. The judge ordered his quarter-century sentence be served consecutive to any other sentence levied by the Escambia County Circuit Court.
Reuben was on probation for previous felonies when he committed this crime, violating his probation. He was sentenced to five years in prison for violating his probation.
