OMAHA, Neb.— A Douglas County judge has found enough evidence for an Omaha man accused of kidnapping his son to stand trial.

26-year-old Elwin E. Brown faces charges of kidnapping, child abuse and false imprisonment. He’s also charged with two counts of violating a protection order granted to Abbilyn Walgrave and their 2-year-old son.

Brown is accused of taking his son from a car driven by Walgrave in a grocery store parking lot on Nov. 3. The uninjured child was dropped off at his great-grandmother’s house about five hours later.

Police reviewed surveillance video, and Detective Jeff Shelbourn said he was able to identify Brown taking the child from the car.

Brown is being held on $400,000 bail.
