4-month-old boy taken from mom in NC found in SC
Published Wednesday, July 28, 2010 7:42 AM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say a 4-month-old baby taken from his mother in a North Carolina parking lot has been found in South Carolina.

Police told multiple media outlets that Jaleen Xamir Howard was found in Chesterfield County around 2 a.m. Wednesday, about 15 hours after he was abducted some 40 miles away. He was taken to a hospital, and his condition was not released.

Investigators say the baby was snatched from his mother's car in a doctor's office parking lot in Monroe, N.C., on Tuesday morning.

Police say 41-year-old Lonnie Cecil Buchanan was arrested and charged with kidnapping. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Authorities have not discussed why Buchanan might have wanted to take the infant.

The Name -- The Title?

American society can expect anything of a child with that name, and should hope the greatest rewards for his achievements. He could be President Xamir one day. I suspect that at four months he's already seen more of this country than the person who asked that question. Shame on you. A salute to law enforcement for finding him so quickly.
