Timothy Olson sentenced to 33 years for 2022 kidnapping, robbery of elderly woman

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Timothy Olson, found guilty in the 2022 kidnapping and robbery of an elderly woman, learned his sentence Tuesday, March 17. 

He'll spend more than 30 years in prison, with more time possible as he faces charges as an alleged "dating app predator" linked to two death investigations. 

Judge Kristy Yang sentenced Olson to 33 years in prison Tuesday. It comes just days after a trial filled with disruptions, and this hearing was no different.

Olson was removed from the courtroom three times for interrupting the judge before the hearing could fully begin. 

"You'll be brought back out when you can follow the rules," Hon. Yang said. 

After about an hour of disruptions, Judge Yang ordered Olson to appear only by Zoom from the holding cell behind the courtroom and dismissed two motions he filed asking for a mistrial. 

"It has simply come to a point where enough is enough," she said. 

Prosecutors detailed Olson's long criminal history, involving drugs, burglary, theft, and fraud, as well as his other accusations, noting the DA's office has heard from other alleged victims since this trial began. 

"This victimization isn't just a one time, done," Deputy District Attorney Sara Sadowski said. "This lasts with victims, especially when they're being taken advantage of in this way, for years."

As the judge handed her sentence, she focused on the elderly victim, saying though she wasn't physically harmed, she was traumatized. 

"On a daily basis, she relives this incident and is able to recall this incident," Judge Yang said. 

Olson made it clear he plans to appeal.
