An alleged kidnapping Wednesday in Escambia County, Ala. ended with a manhunt in north Baldwin County and a Rabun, Ala., man in jail.
Troy Steven Smith, 22, was charged with unlawful imprisonment first degree, burglary second degree and domestic violence third degree by Baldwin County authorities. He is expected to face additional kidnapping charges from Baldwin County.
A young woman was reported to have been kidnapped in Escambia County, Ala., Wednesday morning. Baldwin County authorities were notified of the kidnapping, and Smith was named as a suspect.
Mid-afternoon Wednesday, Baldwin County received a call that the victim had escaped and was at a Stockton home. She told deputies from Escambia and Baldwin counties that she had been held by Smith before her escape. She told deputies that he left the area on foot.
A K-9 unit from Fountain Prison in Atmore located Smith hiding in a wooded area near Stacey Road and Old Gainey Road near Stockton. He was booked into the Baldwin County Jail about 6:30 Wednesday evening where he was being hold without bond.
