An Arizona man has been charged with kidnapping after he tried to walk out of a Flagstaff grocery store pushing a cart with another customer’s baby inside, according to Flagstaff police.

Jeffery Roholt, 59, told police he thought the cart was his when he finished paying for his two small bags of groceries at a self-checkout line and turned to leave. The cart, with the infant inside, belonged to the woman at the next checkout station, Flagstaff police said.

She noticed Roholt leaving with her baby and stopped him.
