Bond Set for Man Charged With Abducting Fort Worth Child

Bond has been set at $100,000 for a Texas man accused of abducting 8-year-old girl as she walked with her mother in Fort Worth over the weekend.

Michael Webb was being held in the Tarrant County Jail Monday. The 51-year-old is charged with aggravated kidnapping.

Police said the girl was walking through a leafy neighborhood with her mother Saturday evening when Webb pulled up in his car and grabbed her.

Officers later found Webb and the girl at the hotel after a local pastor, who had been out looking for the girl, reported seeing a car there that matched the description of the one sought by police.

A spokeswoman for the Tarrant County District Attorney's office said Webb has not been indicted and the case is pending.

Jail records did not list an attorney for Webb.
