Indictment for Parental Kidnapping

The ex-husband of a Titusville woman has been indicted on a charge of international parental kidnapping.

34-year-old Chad Hower is accused of taking his then-10-year-old child out of the country in November 2006 to obstruct the parental rights of the child's mother, Nancy Oberlander.

An indictment charging Hower with one felony count was filed under seal in federal court in Erie on May 12 and a warrant was obtained for his arrest.

Hower was taken into custody on Tuesday, according to court records. The records do not say where Hower was arrested or where the child is.

The charge of international parental kidnapping is a felony punishable by up to three years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
