PAUMA
VALLEY, CA - (1-7-08) A kidnapping suspect is custody
after leading authorities on
an hour long pursuit Sunday night. The chase began
after a woman reported that she had just escaped after
being held captive for a week and that the suspect fled
the area in her vehicle. Sheriff's deputies located the
truck in the Pala area and attempted a traffic stop. The
driver continued and the chase was on. Authorities were
able to stop the truck on I-5 near Via De La Valle, but
the driver refused to exit. Deputies shot out the truck's
windows and that prompted the suspect to give up without
further incident. The suspect has been identified as William
Joseph Federico (45). The kidnapping allegedly happened
in Placentia.
