mom moments after she discovered her car, with her 7-year-old son inside
had been stolen. It happened at the Dollar General Market on Monday at
around 7:30 p.m. The woman went inside the store to pick up some
medicine, leaving her son alone in the backseat of her car with the
vehicle running and the doors unlocked, according to police. She came
out of the store about 10-15 minutes later and her vehicle and son were
gone.
Just
minutes later, the child was found unharmed by a woman outside the gas
station on the Wal-Mart lot on the 2300 block of Madison St. He told
officers that he had been dropped off by the suspect and gave officers a
description of his kidnapper.
While police combed the area, an
officer located a man at the K-Mart on the 2300 block of Madison Street,
20-year old Willie Cole, who closely met the description of the
suspect. The keys to the stolen vehicle were found in Cole's pants
pocket. The stolen vehicle was located in the parking lot at the
Wal-Mart.
The child positively identified Cole as the person who
took him and the car. Cole told detectives that he saw the car running
and took it because he needed the bail money for previous charges.
The child was returned to his mother. Also, the vehicle was turned back over to Belvin.
Cole
was booked into Montgomery County Jail and charged with kidnapping and
theft. His bond was set at $200,000. However, Cole was served with an
outstanding violation of probation warrant and is being held without
bond.
On Dec. 3, Cole was arrested for a set-up robbery in which he
allegedly stole $600 from a person. Police say he admitted to the
robbery.
