CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A 27-year-old man suspected of kidnapping a woman and two children in Colorado pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to several charges he's facing in Wyoming following a car chase that ended with police finding the victims safe.
Al Demetrius Johnson faces nine misdemeanor charges in Natrona County, including attempting to elude police officers, running through a roadblock, child endangerment and reckless driving.
Police in Colorado Springs, Colo., put out an alert Thursday after a witness reported seeing Johnson force a woman into a car. The woman, a 3-week-old baby and an 8-year-old girl were found safe following the high-speed chase Friday near Casper.
A judge ordered Johnson to undergo a mental health evaluation.
