Alleged Kidnapper Back in Catt County
The Kill Buck man who was arrested in Punxsutawney on Tuesday on kidnapping charges has been extradited to Cattaraugus County.
Vernon Botsford is accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend, 29-year-old Jessica Gonzalez, from her Farmington, New York home. Before the alleged kidnapping, Botsford reportedly visited hardware stores to pick up rope, duct tape and a knife.
As we reported Wednesday, Botsford is accused of kidnapping Gonzalez at knifepoint Monday night. They made their way to Punxsutawney at around 5 o’clock Tuesday morning, and went to Punxsutawney Area Hospital because Gonzalez had cut her wrist in the initial struggle and needed treatment. At the hospital, Gonzalez told the staff she had been kidnapped. Botsford was captured near Punxsutawney High School. He’s jailed on $100,000 bail.
In May of 2009, Botsford was sentenced to a year in jail for chasing his girlfriend around her house with a kitchen knife.
