TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A 40-year-old Kansas woman is jailed after allegedly trying to abduct a child.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Shelby D. Parker of Topeka was arrested Thursday after a nearly four-hour standoff.
Police were called at 12:15 p.m. to a report that a woman entered a home and stole something, then tried to kidnap a child. Police Sgt. Ron Ekis said the child’s mother was able to thwart the abduction.
