Reno, Nev. • A federal grand jury in Nevada has indicted an ex-felon from Utah on charges related to an armed car-jacking in Sparks last month that triggered a multi-state search for a missing 8-year-old girl.
Federal prosecutors in Reno announced the indictment Wednesday of 28-year-old Andrew Brigman. He faces one count each of carjacking, felon in possession of a firearm and use of a firearm during a crime of violence.
The girl who went missing after the July 6 carjacking at the Nugget Casino in Sparks was found safe weeks later in Alamosa, Colorado.
