Woman Kidnapped After Helping Man with Car Trouble

PANOLA COUNTY, MS (Ben Caxton) — A Panola County woman reported an alleged kidnapping after pulling over to help a man she thought was having car trouble. The woman pulled over about 3:00 AM Thursday to help a man who said his truck broke down and he needed a ride home. After the man got into her vehicle he kept changing his mind on directions and told the woman to keep driving. After about six hours the women stopped at a Batesville gas station and told the clerk to call 911, saying she’d been kidnapped. When police arrived the suspect took off, crashing her vehicle near I-55 and escaping on foot. The suspect was later taken into custody and identified by the woman.
