Kason Thomas, a 5-month-old baby kidnapped three days ago in Columbus, Ohio, was found safe in a Papa John's parking lot in Indianapolis on Thursday evening, according to police.
The woman accused of kidnapping Kason, 24-year-old Nalah Jackson, was arrested just hours before he was found.
Jackson allegedly stole a Honda Accord from a Donatos Pizza while Kason's mother went inside the restaurant to pick up an order for a DoorDash delivery.
