A traffic stop in Maryland has led to the rescue of a kidnapping victim.
Maryland State Police said they arrested 62-year-old Dennis Bell of Lanham for kidnapping and other related charges.
Bell was driving a U-Haul truck when he reportedly made contact with a victim, who is not being identified, in a convenience store in Washington, D.C., Friday morning. The victim told police she was pushed into the U-Haul by Bell, who threatened her life if she did not comply.

This is in addition to 19 traffic charges related to the incident.
