STATE TROOPERS SECURE KIDNAPPED CHILD
DURING WEST MEMPHIS TRAFFIC STOP
Arkansas State Troopers have secured a two-year girl believed to have been
kidnapped earlier today from Sandy Springs, Georgia.
A 30 year old suspect in the kidnapping was also taken into custody during a traffic
stop along an Interstate 40 service road in West Memphis.
Arkansas State Troopers received a law enforcement bulletin earlier in the afternoon
from Georgia authorities who believed the suspect may be traveling through Arkansas
with the child inside a 2006 Range Rover.
State Police Sergeant David Moore and Corporal Lowry Astin moved highway patrol
troopers into the West Memphis area to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle.
At approximately 3:25 PM Corporal Flarcell Tate spotted the vehicle and initiated a
traffic stop in the vicinity of the West Memphis dog racing track. The child was
turned-over by State Police to the Arkansas Department of Human Services and Georgia
law enforcement authorities were notified of the suspect being held by State
Troopers. Source Arkansas State Police.
