VIRGINIA BEACH -- A man wanted in connection with a carjacking and abduction of a toddler has been arrested in New York.
Virginia Beach police spokeswoman Margie Long says 24-year-old Matthew R. Nash was arrested about 4:30 a.m. today in Syracuse, N.Y. He is being held at the Onondaga County Justice Center.
One-year-old Naomi Hilel was found in a hotel parking lot in Newport News yesterday, hours after a man pushed her mother out of the way while she was pumping gas in Virginia Beach. The man stole the family's minivan with Hilel still in her car seat.
Court records show that Nash pleaded guilty in 2006 to drug charges and was sentenced to 10 years with eight years suspended. He also was wanted in Camillus, N.Y., on a harassment charge.
