3 More Arrests in Kidnapping of Rochester Woman, 4-Year-Old Son

Three more people have been arrested in the kidnapping of a Rochester woman and her four-year-old son last month.

20-year-old Ni’Asia Rodney, a 17-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old girl all are charged with kidnapping.

The two teens are also charged with burglary.

24-year-old Daniel Ponder was arrested shortly after the kidnapping.

Police say Ponder, Rodney, and the two teens repeatedly assaulted the victim, and she and her son were driven away at gunpoint.

Charging documents say suspect Daniel Ponder is the husband of the woman, but not the child's father.

The court papers say the woman told police she had left her husband the previous week because he had threatened to kill her.
