FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ohio — A man accused of trying to abduct a 6-year-old boy in Franklin County last month was indicted on Thursday.
The sheriff's office said 20-year-old Ketema Kuma Faye tried to take the boy from a charity festival in Brown Township on June 25.
As Faye was about to lead the boy out of the festival, a volunteer asked Faye if the child was his. While Faye said yes, the child said no.
Volunteers quickly took control of the child and called 911. Faye was arrested shortly after the incident.
The sheriff's office said Faye was a worker at the festival, helping set up equipment.
Faye was arraigned on June 27 and bond was set at $25,000, which was posted the next day. He was indicted on a third-degree felony charge of abduction and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
