EAST BAKO GIRL ABDUCTED BY MAN SHE MET ONLINE

A Colorado man is behind bars in Utah after police caught him with a young girl who was reported missing from East Bakersfield. Sheriff Donny Youngblood shared new details about the case Tuesday, saying Joshua Stehle arranged to pick up the girl at 2:30am Sunday after communicating with her online for months…

Deputies used their own technology to track Stehle to Utah, where police arrested him on numerous charges that include kidnapping and meeting a juvenile for sex. Youngblood says the DA’s office is working to extradite Stehle to Kern County, news reports say Stehle gave the girl a promise ring and said he’d marry her when she turned 18. Police in Utah say he had a gun in his car when they pulled him over. SG
