Tulsa police arrest woman for allegedly kidnapping child

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Tulsa police arrested a woman at the Waterstone Apartments near 61st and Peoria for allegedly convincing a 5-year-old to walk off with her.

Witnesses say the woman, Jordan Canfield, called the 5-year-old over to her by waving at him, then took his hand and walked away.

When the victim's father realized his son was missing, he drove around and found him still walking with Canfield three blocks from the apartments.

The father yelled to his son, and the boy ran to him while Canfield took off.

Officers located Canfield several blocks away and she was taken into custody.

The father said he does not know Canfield and has never seen her before.
