A 37-year-old man from Florida was arrested on May 21 after kidnapping a 17-year-old girl and forcing her to drive him through a CCP virus highway checkpoint, according to a news release issued by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
“I am relieved this suspect is currently sitting in jail and the young victim in this case was not seriously hurt. I want to thank and commend my staff as well as our partners at the Florida Highway Patrol for quickly putting two and two together that resulted in a quick arrest,” said Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay.
