Father Accused Of Kidnapping Son Facing Charges

DAYTON, Ohio —

A man accused of kidnapping his young son is facing more than a dozen felony charges.

DeWayne Wills Jr., 2, was found safe on Thursday night after a 22-hour search.

Wills and the boy’s mother had been arguing over visitation when she claims he took the boy and filed shots at a van full of people.

She offered up a possible explanation for Wills’ actions.

“I guess he wanted me to fee what he was feeling because he wanted me to feel lost because that’s what he said, he felt lost without his kids,” she said.

Police said Wills was involved in a similar abduction of his son in 2009.
