Nautica Jones Took Car, Baby While Aunt Slept

, 17-year-old Nautica Jones was arrested for stealing a car and taking a 1-year-old child.

Fox2Now is reporting that the boy, Carmon Cross, is Jones' cousin and that he happened to be in the car when she took it. Originally, they were each believed to be foster children, but the two both live in the Bel-Noir home with relatives.

Jones and Cross, whose first birthday is Thursday, were reported found just before 9:30 p.m.

A neighbor told the KMOV that the boy’s aunt had been babysitting the boy at the time of the abduction. She took a nap and then arrived at the neighbor’s home frantic that he was missing. She had reportedly worked an overnight shift the night before.

KMOV reports that Jones took Cross and put him in the back seat of the 2006 Dodge Magnum. Officials said cross didn’t appear to have any injuries but took him to an area hospital to be sure.

While the case remains under investigation, the motive isn’t clear at this time.
