An Ohio mother and her boyfriend were arrested after abducting six children and fleeing the state, and ending up in Florida.
According to investigators, on Tuesday evening, Walton County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Florida Highway Patrol in reference to a minivan involved in a parental kidnapping.
Ashley Nicole Holter, 27, and her boyfriend, Nicholis Andrew Adams, 26, had active warrants out of Lancaster, Ohio, for taking her six children from their grandparents, who have legal custody, and fleeing the state.
Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle near the Bob Sikes Road overpass on Interstate 10 in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

Six small children, ages ranging from infant to nine years old, were found in the minivan, deputies say.
“The children were dirty and had not been fed in several days. Holter and Adams were identified and taken into custody for kidnapping and false imprisonment,” said Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
Holter and Adams will be extradited to Ohio.
The Walton County Sheriff’s Office Child Protection Unit took possession of the children and are working to reunite the children with their grandparents.
