By The Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas (AP) A convicted felon from Georgia must serve seven years in federal prison for using a gun to abduct a man who was later found in West Texas. <br /> <br /> Wano McSwain of Dahlonega, Georgia, was sentenced Tuesday in El Paso. McSwain in August pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm during an interstate kidnapping. <br /> <br /> McSwain must forfeit two guns seized after his arrest in Anthony, near El Paso. <br /> <br /> A 78-year-old man on Feb. 5 told a gas station clerk in Anthony that he was abducted in Georgia by McSwain and forced to drive to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Anthony police arrested McSwain and confiscated a pistol and a stolen shotgun. <br /> <br /> McSwain in 2005 was convicted in Clark County, Nevada, of pandering of a child and sentenced to prison.
