A 47-year-old Vancouver woman was arrested Monday on suspicion of kidnapping a 1 1/2 -year-old girl from a Fruit Valley apartment, police said.
Julie Richtmyre was arrested on suspicion of second-degree kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment and harassment, said Vancouver police Officer Missy Skeeter.
Skeeter said Richtmyre, while baby-sitting a 3-year-old girl in the Fruit Valley apartment complex, went into another apartment in that complex and took the 1 1/2 -year-old back to her apartment.
The mother of the younger girl realized her daughter was gone and went to Richt-myre’s apartment, where a fight broke out. The mother got her 1 1/2 -year-old back. Skeeter said the women know each other.
