Honduran man arrested in Oklahoma after alleged North Texas abduction and robbery
NORTH TEXAS – A Honduran man is accused of abducting a 22-year-old Haltom City woman at gunpoint, forcing her to withdraw money from a bank, and driving her more than 20 miles to an apartment complex where she escaped and summoned help, police said.
Eduardo Javier Ordonez Godoy, 35, of Honduras, was taken into custody when he was found inside her vehicle in Oklahoma City on Christmas Day, according to the Haltom City Police Department.
Police said Ordonez Godoy, who has "no known local address," is facing aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery charges. He is being held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center, with an "active ICE detainer hold" due to his immigration status.
The woman's abduction from Acacia Apartments, 5000 Denton Highway, in Haltom City occurred at about 4:45 a.m. Tuesday while she was walking to her vehicle, police said.
After threatening the woman and forcing her to withdraw an undisclosed amount of cash, police said Ordonez Godoy drove the victim 22 miles to Camden Apartments, 3900 Grapevine Mills Parkway, in Grapevine.
When she escaped, Ordonez Godoy fled in her vehicle, which police entered into law enforcement databases "with a note of the violent nature of the offense," although the victim wasn't physically harmed, according to police.
Ordonez Godoy was apprehended in her vehicle with evidence connected to the offense in the 2100 block of SW 39th Street on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, police said.
In addition to the Haltom City charges, the Oklahoma City Police Department has also charged Ordonez Godoy with unauthorized use of a vehicle; use of a firearm while committing a felony; receiving, possessing, or concealing stolen property; and carrying or possessing a firearm by an illegal alien, the news release said.
The investigation is continuing, police said, and additional charges may be filed.
