THREE ARRESTED FOR ABDUCTION OF OHIO TEEN AT ELLENBORO

(09/08/2004)

Three Ohio people have been arrested at Ellenboro, Ritchie County, accused of abducting an Ohio teenager. The arrests were made Tuesday after a motorist who heard an Amber Alert broadcast saw the suspects' vehicle and called 911. Authorities descended on the location along US 50 near Ritchie County High School. The Amherst, Ohio, Police Department charged the three with kidnapping. The three are identified as 28-year-old Jason Myers of Elyria, Ohio; 18-year-old Derrick Carroll of Amherst, Ohio; and 18-year-old Jessica Hawkinberry of Wakeman, Ohio. All three were being held at the North Central Regional Jail. According to police, the girl was stopped by the suspects while walking to school yesterday morning in Lorain, Ohio. The trio allegedly forced her to get into their van. She asked to be taken to her house so that she could pick up clothes and hygiene items. While there, she left a note for her mother. Ohio authorities issued an Amber Alert shortly before noon after the girl's mother called the Amherst Police Department.
