Kidnapping Suspect Arrested

On October 8, 2016 Stanley Kinard was arrested for Kidnapping, Extortion, Felony Flight and Endangerment.  Kinard was holding the adult female victim against her will and threatening to inject her with a large quantity of heroin if she did not pay him the $130 he said that she owed him.
