On June 2, officers were called for a kidnapping in Tulsa. Officers learned that before the kidnapping, the victim was walking with her 9-year-old sister and her aunt to a store nearby.

During this time, Christopher Webb allegedly drove by in a white Dodge Ram at least seven times, according to Tulsa police. The agency announced his arrest this week.

Webb stopped the truck while leaving the complex and let the victim out, police say. She ran back to her family, and Webb sped away. Officers used surveillance footage to identify the truck, and they began stopping and checking vehicles matching the description.

About a week after the kidnapping, officers stopped Webb, and after further investigation, determined he was a suspect in the kidnapping. Police served an arrest warrant and took Webb into custody on July 28.

Webb was charged with kidnapping and was also arrested on four counts of possession of a firearm after former conviction of a felony.
