Police arrested the 21-year-old Belleville man Friday they believed helped abduct a 25-year-old woman in Ypsilanti Monday.

Raymond James March was arrested at a residence in Inkster with the help of the 2nd District Fugitive Team, according to a release from Ypsilanti police.

March is suspected, along with Jeremy Abston, in the abduction of Farrah Cook in Ypsilanti Monday.

Detectives had received information that March was at the home. Authorities located him inside and he was arrested without incident, the release stated.

The vehicle used in the abduction was also recovered.

March was taken to the Washtenaw County Jail, where he will remain awaiting arraignment on felony charges including unlawful imprisonment and conspiracy to commit unlawful imprisonment.

Abston remains at large, the release stated.

Police were first alerted to the abduction at 5:45 a.m. Monday when they were called to a residence in the 500 block of South Hamilton Street at the Hamilton Crossing Apartments after receiving a report that a man had forced a woman into a black or very dark blue Pontiac Bonneville. The incident was caught on security cameras and about 10 people witnessed the abduction, according to family members.

Cook and Abston have three children together, twin 4-year-old girls and a 3-year-old boy. Police have said Farrah and Abston dated for four years before breaking up, which seemed to be Abston's motive.

Cook escaped her abductors later on Monday and was found safe at an Ypsilanti Township apartment complex.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Abston is encouraged to call the Ypsilanti Police Department at 734-483-9510 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).
