The 27-year-old man accused of abducting his ex-girlfriend in an Ypsilanti parking lot earlier this month is now in custody, police said.
Jeremy Abston was arrested Thursday at a residence in Detroit, according to a release from the Ypsilanti Police Department.
Abston was located and taken into custody without incident by police with the assistance of the 2nd District Fugitive Team, the release states.
He will be held at the Washtenaw County Jail until he is arraigned on charges of unlawful imprisonment, conspiracy to commit unlawful imprisonment, interfering with the reporting of a crime, assault with a dangerous weapon, larceny in a building, three charges of interfering with electronic communications, aggravated domestic violence, assault and battery and malicious destruction of property worth less than $200.
Court records indicate those are the counts authorized on the arrest warrant.
Police say Abston and 21-year-old Raymond March, of Belleville, forced 25-year-old Farrah Cook into a car in the parking lot of an Ypsilanti apartment complex on May 6. Cook eventually broke free of her captors that same day at a different apartment complex in Ypsilanti Township and suffered a sprained ankle.
March was arrested May 10 at an Inkster home. He is charged with unlawful imprisonment, conspiracy to commit unlawful imprisonment and interfering with the reporting of a crime and aggravated assault for his alleged involvement in Cook's abduction.
March waived a preliminary examination Tuesday. He continues to be held in the Washtenaw County Jail on a $250,00 cash bond, jail records indicate.
