ISHPEMING, MI— The Ishpeming Police Department arrested an accused kidnapper who was in hiding last week.
Thursday around 4:30 p.m., officers blocked off the 100 block of North Main Street. They had learned 43-year-old fugitive Jesse Paris of Negaunee was in an apartment building downtown. After a short time, Paris exited the building and was taken into custody.
Paris was wanted for kidnapping an 18-month-old girl. She was found safe in the apartment and put in the custody of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Paris is charged with kidnapping-child enticement. He was also an absconder from parole and had arrest warrants for delivery/manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of meth, and a bench warrant out of Marquette County Circuit Court for failure to appear.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for Thursday in Marquette County District Court.
