Sharonda Belvin, 26, went inside of the store to pick up some medicine, leaving her son alone in the backseat of her car with the vehicle running and the doors unlocked, according to police. She came out of the store about 10-15 minutes later and her vehicle and son were gone.
Just minutes later, the child was found unharmed by a woman outside the gas station on the Wal-Mart lot on the 2300 block of Madison St. He told officers that he had been dropped off by the suspect and gave officers a description of his kidnapper.
While police combed the area, an officer located a man at the K-Mart on the 2300 block of Madison Street, 20-year old Willie Cole, who closely met the description of the suspect. The keys to the stolen vehicle were found in Cole's pants pocket. The stolen vehicle was located in the parking lot at the Wal-Mart.
The child positively identified Cole as the person who took him and the car. Cole told detectives that he saw the car running and took it because he needed the bail money for previous charges.
The child was returned to his mother. Also, the vehicle was turned back over to Belvin.
Cole was booked into Montgomery County Jail and charged with kidnapping and theft. His bond was set at $200,000. However, Cole was served with an outstanding violation of probation warrant and is being held without bond.
On Dec. 3, Cole was arrested for a set-up robbery in which he allegedly stole $600 from a person. Police say he admitted to the robbery.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
