TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Authorities have arrested an Ohio kidnapping suspect and found the missing girl he fled the country with.

USMS said Monday authorities arrested Jonathon Jones, 33, and found the missing 17-year-old from Canton in Ahumada, Chihuahua, Mexico. The agency did not disclose additional information about the teen’s condition, why the suspect fled to Mexico or other details about the case.

The U.S. Marshals Service said Saturday Jones was wanted by the Wood County Sheriff’s Office for pandering obscene material and child endangerment. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona said Saturday Jones was wanted on a kidnapping warrant and the two were last seen there Friday in a Buick Encore registered to Jones’ mother.
