Arkansas state police say they arrested a man on Tuesday night who kidnapped a baby from the scene of a triple murder.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the Northeast Arkansas home at around 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, where they found the victims: Tami Lynn Chenoweth, 51, James Stanley McGhee, 59, and Cheyene Chenoweth, 26.

Police began to track two vehicles that had been seen on the scene earlier in the day. About five hours later, police stopped a van 200 miles from the crime scene that matched the description of one of the cars at the murder scene.
Hunter Chenoweth, 22, is charged with kidnapping a baby from the site of a triple murder Tuesday in northeast Arkansas.
That’s when police say Hunter Chenoweth, 22, leaves the van armed with a rifle and “verbally provokes” the officers.
Police were eventually able to arrest Chenoweth shortly after 10 p.m.
The kidnapped baby was found unharmed in the van, as was a 25-year-old woman driving. She was questioned by the police and released.
