HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies safely located Jayanna Clark Thursday after more than 18 hours of searching throughout the region.

Detectives found Clark in Largo with Jahvontae Bell late Thursday. Clark and Bell were both observed exiting a shed on the side of a residence. Clark was safe and unharmed. Bell was arrested at the scene and taken into custody without incident.

Bell is facing charges of armed kidnapping, aggravated assault and battery.

Detectives are conducting interviews with the parties involved to understand what transpired.

"I'm relieved that this woman was found safely this evening," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Now, our detectives will re-trace the steps taken by the suspect today and hold this man accountable."

This is an ongoing and active investigation.

According to authorities, deputies responded to a 1:30 a.m. call about a possible kidnapping near the 5000 block of Bordeaux Village Place in Tampa.

Once deputies arrived on the scene, they spoke to witnesses who said they saw a black Nissan sedan pull up and two individuals physically force Jayanna Clark, 25, into the vehicle.

While this investigation is ongoing, detectives have reason to believe Clark was kidnapped by Jayvontae Bell, 26. He currently has a warrant out for his arrest in Pinellas County for Armed Kidnapping for a separate incident.

Authorities said anyone who may come in contact with Bell should not approach him as he is considered armed and dangerous.

"We are using every resource available to ensure the safe return of this young woman," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "If you see something or know anything about her whereabouts, please reach out to our detectives."
