CHULA VISTA – An 18-year-old Chula Vista man was taken into custody at the border last night with his ex-girlfriend whom, police believed, he kidnapped Wednesday and took to Mexico.
Both were detained while entering the United States at the Otay Mesa port of entry for passenger cars about 7:15 p.m., said Vince Bond, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman.
The girl, 17-year-old Erica Zaragoza, was unharmed. Zaragoza told Chula Vista police that, despite appearances, she had gone willingly with the young man.
Jose Luis Harper was jailed last night, not on kidnapping charges but on suspicion of felony evading officers and hit-and-run for a series of crashes hours before he drove to Mexico.
