Charges are dismissed aganst the man accused in an Elkton kidnapping.
Twenty-seven-year-old Pedro Enriquez-Castillo earlier pleaded
not guilty to kidnapping and reckless driving in a September third
incident.
States Attorney Clyde Calhoon says an examination by the state Human
Services Center determined that Castillo was legally insane at the time
of the incident and did not know right from wrong.
Castillo was accused of forcing the car of an Elkton woman off the road.
He opened her car and took her three-month old child. Castillo fled to a
nearby apartment building but returned with the child about 15-minutes
later and said he thought the child was his nephew. The child was not
injured.
Castillo's lawyer earlier said his client is schizophrenic and bipolar,
suffers from hallucinations and hears voices.
Calhoon says there is an immigration hold on Castillo and the judge
ordered him held until he can be deported back to Guatemala.
That is expected to happen later this week.
