Man Indicted in Kidnapping of Cherokee County Mother, Child

A Roswell man has been indicted on charges he allegedly kidnapped a mother and her daughter late last year.

A Cherokee County grand jury on Tuesday indicted Darin Michael Czech on two counts of kidnapping a woman and her child from their southwest Cherokee County home.

Deputies with the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office responded to a suspicious activity call Dec. 20, 2014, on Lee Path in unincorporated Acworth.

The caller expressed concern that her neighbor and her six-year-old daughter “may have been taken against their will” by Czech, sheriff’s office spokesperson Lt. Jay Baker previously told Patch.

Investigators with the sheriff’s office made contact with the suspect and McGuire, who reportedly said “that she just wanted to come home,” Baker noted.

However, Baker said Czech allegedly refused to meet with investigators and instead dropped the woman and child off at the Indian Creek MARTA Station Sunday afternoon.

McGuire told authorities Czech took her and her daughter to a motel and held them there overnight Saturday, Dec. 20 and the morning of Sunday, Dec. 21. The woman and her child were not injured.

Czech was later arrested by Roswell police in an apartment complex off Holcomb Bridge Road, the sheriff’s office said.
