Ohio Kidnapping Suspect Arrested After Chase

Authorities in northern Ohio say they a high-speed chase ended in the arrest of a 25-year-old man accused of kidnapping a 2-year-old boy and demanding ransom from his family. Mansfield police say Charly Ray Ledbetter was arrested Sunday after being accused of shoplifting from a Wal-Mart store. Police said he ran from them before pulling over and giving up. The Mansfield News Journal reports that Ledbetter was the subject of a search after he and his girlfriend allegedly took a 2-year-old child from someone they knew and demanded money or cold medicine - used to make methamphetamine - for his safe return. Police tracked them to an apartment where the child was found safe. The Richland County jail had no information about whether Ledbetter has an attorney yet.
