A wild kidnapping ends with one man safe and another man behind bars.
A man called the police shortly after 7:30 this morning in a motel parking lot. He reported that his boyfriend was acting erratically as he was trying to steal his van. A few minutes later, the same man called the police back stating that he was in the back of the van.
He was giving constant updates as the van sped along I-30 through Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Dallas. Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada says other drivers called 911, giving details of a very tense situation.
The victim kept police updated on their location as the thief drove through Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Dallas. Dallas Police ultimately found the van on Linfield Road and arrested 29-year-old Takim Peden. Investigators say he and the victim, who is okay, are in a dating relationship.
