\"Classic<\/a>Hearing impaired man sentenced in Santa Fe kidnapping<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 22-year-old Eldorado man, who was arrested in December 2013 for trying to abduct a woman in downtown Santa Fe, was sentenced Monday to 11 years in prison which was suspended and he was placed on five years of supervised probation.<\/p>\n

Ryan N. Catron, who is hearing impaired and a former award-winning athlete in competitions among deaf athletes, pleaded guilty in a plea agreement in state District Court in Santa Fe to single counts of kidnapping, misdemeanor aggravated battery and evading or resisting an officer.<\/p>\n

Indiana authorities intend to extradite Catron on a charge of electronic solicitation of a minor and he will remain on electronic monitoring while that charge plays out in Indiana, assistant district attorney David Murphy said after the hearing.<\/p>\n

Catron admitted trying to abduct and choke Jamie Durfee on Dec. 1, 2013 when he convinced her to help him find his cell phone charger inside<\/span><\/span> his car. She was able to kick him and escape with the minor injuries. Catron was arrested with the use of a State Police Helicopter while hiding in a tree in Eldorado.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I can say I am sorry enough,\u201d Catron told the court through a deaf interpreter, adding alcohol played a part in his actions.<\/p>\n

Durfee told the court that she hoped Catron would be off the street for some time. \u201cRyan used his hearing impairment to prey on me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Catron, under the plea agreement, must continue to undergo counseling for alcohol and mental health issues and must make restitution.<\/p>\n
