6th suspect arrested in NC kidnapping case
ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities say a sixth suspect in the kidnapping of a North Carolina prosecutor's father has been arrested in Atlanta.
FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch said in a statement that Quantavious Thompson was taken into custody late Wednesday afternoon. Details on his arrest weren't immediately available Thursday.
Frank Janssen was kidnapped April 5 from his home and driven in a rented hatchback to Atlanta, where he was held for five days before his rescue. Authorities have said the kidnapping was retaliation for the prosecution of a high-ranking Bloods street gang member.
Thompson is scheduled to appear in federal court for a detention hearing Friday morning. Five other suspects have been arrested in the case.
Investigators say they're searching for a seventh suspect, Jakym Tibbs, who's considered armed and dangerous.
