Police say Anoka woman back home after kidnapping

An Anoka woman returned home Saturday night after Minnetonka police said she was abducted at gunpoint Thursday afternoon.

In a statement, Minnetonka Police Captain Shelley Petersen said they continue to search for Smith's ex-boyfrirend, 37-year-old Jahon Douglas of Burnsville.

"We believe him to be armed and dangerous; if anyone has knowledge of his whereabouts, do not approach him. Please call 911 with any information," said Peterson.
