A suspect in a Butler County home invasion and vehicle theft last week was taken into custody at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in West Memphis, Arkansas.
Jamie Carter, the suspect, reportedly was apprehended while driving the victim’s vehicle, which was stolen last week.
Carter is charged with the Class A felony of first-degree kidnapping, the Class B felonies of first-degree burglary and second-degree robbery and the Class D felony of stealing a motor vehicle.
It is believed Carter broke into the victim’s home Thursday, June 8, around 6 p.m. and kept the victim captive until approximately 12:15 p.m. Friday, June 9. It is further thought Carter stole the victim’s white 2012 Ford Escape, which is the vehicle Carter reportedly was apprehended in Tuesday morning.
Carter allegedly was asked earlier in the day last Thursday to leave the Dollar General store on Highway PP and from there she reportedly went to the victim’s residence.
