A Texas man is accused of kidnapping a student near a school and injecting him with an “unknown substance,” officials say.
Staff at Aldine High School, in Houston, saw the boy “stumbling and walking off balance” in front of a shopping center across the street from the school, and was then approached by an “unidentified, suspicious male,” on Wednesday, Oct. 1, the district said in a news release.
The accused kidnapper has been identified as 45-year-old Ted Fleming, court records show.
McClatchy News reached out to an attorney listed for Fleming but didn’t immediately receive a response.
According to authorities, the student was being “pulled away” by Fleming, Harris County court records say.
An officer with the school district’s police department intervened and detained Fleming, the district said. However, the student was now non-responsive, officials said, and the officer began performing CPR.
“The student regained consciousness as EMS arrived,” the district said. “He told authorities that the (man) had injected him with an unknown substance.”
The boy passed out multiple times, and at one point was given Narcan, documents say.
Fleming, who is homeless, is charged with kidnapping, and was jailed Oct. 2, records show.
Aldine ISD’s police also pursued charges of failure to register as a sex offender, and entering school grounds without notice, and those charges were accepted by the district attorney’s office, the district said.
Records show Fleming pleaded no contest to a charge of indecent exposure in May.
