Kidnapping suspect from Phoenix arrested near New Orleans

A man who allegedly “kidnapped and assaulted” a woman in Phoenix was arrested in Louisiana, Phoenix police said.

According to police, Michael Young kidnapped a woman in her 20s with a machete and then sexually assaulted her.^th Street and Buckeye Road around 9 a.m. on June 11. Phoenix officers were unable to locate the 41-year-old suspect that day, but investigators found enough evidence to obtain a warrant for Young’s arrest.

The suspect eluded police until Thursday, when he was arrested by the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana for reasons currently unknown to The Arizona Republic. The parish, the equivalent of a county in Louisiana, includes the city of New Orleans.
