Las Vegas Police Arrest Kidnapping Suspect Seen In Viral Video (Update)

Earlier we reported that Las Vegas police were looking for a possible kidnapping victim and the man that was seen attacking her. The incident was caught on someone’s doorbell camera on New Year’s Eve. Police have found the man and arrested him.

According to Fox 5, Las Vegas, Las Vegas police confirmed that they took suspect Darnell Rodgers into custody early Thursday morning near the 4400 block of Sirus Avenue, near Arville Street north of Desert Inn Road.

He now faces kidnapping and domestic battery charges and his first court appearance is set for January 3rd.

The woman that was seen being attacked in the video has been reported to be found safe.

As we previously reported, police were looking for a Hyundai Sonata with a sunroof. In the video, the woman was seen running towards the home and banged on the door for help. She was then seen being grabbed and abused as she was led back to the car.

Police released the footage as they asked for the public’s help after a resident in a neighborhood south of downtown reported the incident.

UPDATE: On Friday, Rodgers appeared before a judge where he bond was set at $50,000. If he does make bail then he will be released on mid-level monitoring, and he’ll have to stay away from the victim.
