Thanks to tips from WALB News 10 viewers, an accused kidnapper in Ocilla is in jail. 

Thirty-four year old Tim Daniels was arrested at 6:30 Thursday night, shortly after WALB News 10 aired his picture.

Investigators say tipsters led them to East 5th Street in Ocilla where they found him.

Daniels is charged with kidnapping and simple battery.

Ocilla Police say Daniels abducted his girlfriend, 45-year-old Cassandra Tolbert, Wednesday morning.

She told investigators she and Daniels got into a fight and he forced her at knifepoint into her car and they drove around for several hours.

She says he dropped her off in Fitzgerald Wednesday afternoon.

Her car was found Wednesday night in Ocilla.

Daniels is in the Irwin County Detention Center.
