SIOUX CITY -- A Macy, Nebraska, woman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role in a Sioux City carjacking.
Alisia Rangel-McCauley, 23, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Woodbury County District Court to second-degree robbery, which was reduced from first-degree robbery as part of a plea agreement. She must serve at least five years of her sentence before she's eligible for parole. Charges of first-degree theft and assault while participating in a felony were dismissed as part of her plea agreement.
Rangel-McCauley parked behind the female victim in a parking lot in the 1300 block of Hamilton Boulevard on May 27, 2017, and blocked her from leaving. After the victim called 911, Rangel-McCauley's boyfriend, Eagleboy Freemont, reached into the car and tried to take the car keys while pointing a knife at the woman and threatening to stab her.
The woman fled from her car and left the keys inside it. Freemont drove away with her car, followed by Rangel-McCauley in a second vehicle.
