vidalia — After nearly one month on the lam a Ferriday man was arrested for allegedly kidnapping his former girlfriend.

Vidalia Police Chief Tapper Hendricks said Kerry Brooks, 31, allegedly abducted his former girlfriend from a gas station in Vidalia in late-July.

In that incident, Brooks allegedly followed is ex-girlfriend into the Continental convenience store, carried her out of the store and put her in his vehicle at which point he led Vidalia Police on a chase into Ferriday.

Once in Ferriday Brooks escaped on foot.

He was arrested on Sunday in Ferriday.

Hendricks said confidential informants working in conjunction with the Ferriday Police Department ultimately led to Brooks’ arrest.

“He was arrested without incident,” Hendricks said.

Brooks was arrested on a bench warrant for simple kidnapping and is being held on a $3,000 bond.
