Ohio Editor Charged With Kidnapping

By: (AP) The editor of a small daily newspaper was arrested early Thursday and charged with kidnapping a woman, police said.

Jeff Hibbs, editor of the Wilmington News Journal, was accused of forcing his way into the woman's car Wednesday afternoon and ordering her to drive to a cemetery, police said.

The woman, who was not identified, later told police that Hibbs prevented her from getting out of the car several times, but eventually she got free.

Hibbs was arrested at Cowan Lake State Park and was being held at the county jail, police said.

Messages left for executives at Brown Publishing Co., which owns the News Journal, were not immediately returned.

Wilmington is about 40 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
