YUMA, AZ - A man has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping an 18-year-old Wellton woman who was his former girlfriend.
Wellton police say 21-year-old Efren Partida, of Aztec, is charged with kidnapping, attempted unlawful flight, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He's being held on a $515,000 bond at the Yuma County Adult Detention Facility.
Police say they received a phone call Tuesday morning from a woman who said her daughter had just been kidnapped from a home and forced into a car at gunpoint.
Partida's vehicle was later located and he was taken into custody. Police say the woman had escaped from Partida before police arrived and she's been returned to her mother unharmed.
