Gardena gadget thief gets seven years in prison
A former El Camino College student who showed a fake gun to rob three women of their MP3 players and cellular telephones was sentenced today to seven years in prison. Wendell McDaniels, 18, approached the women on streets in the Gardena area during March. He lifted his shirt to show a gun, and demanded their Sidekicks and iPods. He was arrested March 26 after one of his victims recognized him as a former high school classmate.
