ADAMS COUNTY, Pa. — An Adams County man has been charged with the kidnapping of three children in Gettysburg.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, Jason Harris, 44, of York Springs, was charged with multiple felonies after he allegedly stole a car out of a Walmart parking lot with three children inside.
Police say Harris took the car and children onto US Route 15 northbound lanes toward York County.
Reports say the children plead with Harris to slow down, and called 911, giving dispatchers updates on their location which led to troopers finding the car.
Around Mile Marker 31.9 on US Route 15 in York County, Troopers boxed the vehicle and were able to take Harris into custody without incident.
The three children were unharmed.
Harris is charged with three counts of kidnapping, three counts of child endangerment, theft of a motor vehicle, eluding a police officer and DUI-related offenses.
