UFC's Walt Harris, Stepdaughter's Kidnapping Suspect Arrested
UFC's Walt Harris Stepdaughter's Kidnapping Suspect Arrested
The man officials believe kidnapped the stepdaughter of UFC fighter Walt Harris has been arrested -- and you can see in the mug shot, the dude's eye is swollen shut.
Cops had been on the hunt for 30-year-old Ibraheem Yazeed -- who was spotted at a Chevron station in Auburn, Alabama on Oct. 23, the last time anyone saw 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard.
Now, officials say ... Yazeed was apprehended by U.S. Marshals in Escambia County (western Florida) early Friday morning after a brief foot pursuit. He was booked at 2:32 AM.
You can see the suspect's left eye is jacked up bad -- he was hospitalized after being arrested.
Officials believe Yazeed is a bad dude -- he's awaiting trial in an unrelated kidnapping, robbery and attempted murder in Montgomery involving a 77-year-old man.
Aniah's stepmother, Yashiba Blanchard, issued a statement after Yazeed's arrest -- saying, "I am relieved that we can finally obtain some answers and locate our daughter."
"I am prayerful that the Lord touches this young man’s heart so he will be honest and truthful and tell the authorities where our daughter is located."
"I feel as if the Lord has heard our cries and the community’s cries for help with finding our daughter. We are continue to put our trust in God and pray that Chief Register and the APD with other law enforcement bring us Aniah and justice."
