Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell has confirmed that one person has been arrested for the the kidnapping of a four-month-old.
That baby was later found abandoned on the side of a road in Berkeley County fortunately unharmed.
Rondell Johnson, 26, of Charleston is now charged with kidnapping, burglary, unlawful neglect of a child, and assault and battery.
Ravenell stated that the North Charleston Police Department along with his office conducted an extensive investigation into locating Washington.
Washington and 6 other unknown individuals reportedly entered a home on Catamount Road one week ago, kidnapping the 4-month-old baby.
Investigators say one of the gunmen struck a 52-year-old woman in the head with a gun while she was protecting a child. The 4-month-old baby was found a short time later in Berkeley County.
Ravenell stated that, “We will not stop looking for the misfits who entered this home, physically and mentally abusing a family, and removing a helpless child from her caregivers. Our investigation won’t stop until all the persons have answered to their charges.”
This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 803-534-3550 or CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC.
