Taxi motorist detained after reportedly kidnaping the mother of his child

Forty-six-year-old Leon Reid, otherwise called ‘Nose’, a taxi driver of Phase 3 in Havanna Heights, Clarendon was charged with abduction and assault occasioning actual bodily harm following an incident in the parish on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.

The charges stem from an incident involving Reid and the mother of his child.

Reports are that at about 5:00 pm, Reid went to the woman’s workplace, where an argument developed about a tattoo that the woman had removed. 

Reid allegedly punched her in the face several times and used threats to force her to enter his motor car, after which he took her to his home. She was rescued by the police officers who were contacted by a relative.

Reid fled the scene and was later apprehended by the police on Friday, September 9, during a special operation. He was subsequently charged.

He is to appear before the Clarendon Parish Court on Thursday, September 15.
