The victim, walking alone, was approached by a man posing as a cop, who cuffed her and forced her into his car. She escaped when he pulled over, and Moore, alerted by her cries for help, stood guard as she freed herself. Bystanders helped remove her cuffs and called for backup. The suspect, 39-year-old Jonathan Willard, was arrested and charged with kidnapping and impersonating a police officer. The investigation continues, and Willard remains in custody.
