The AP's Lisa Dwyer with this story. Mississippi police say James Wilson was arrested Monday and charged with auto-affecting kidnapping. The Mazda sedan had its motor running when it was stolen Saturday evening from a gas station near Jackson. The car was found that night a few miles away with an unharmed seven-month-old girl inside. During a court appearance, Wilson said he did not steal the car. Police say Wilson is on probation for prior auto-theft convictions and surveillance video shows him in and around the area.
