Man charged in jogger abduction kidnapped attorney in 2000

Associated Press  

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The man charged with kidnapping a Tennessee woman jogging near the University of Memphis last week spent 20 years behind bars for a previous kidnapping. Marshals arrested 38-year-old Cleotha Abston on Saturday after police detected his DNA on a pair of sandals found near to where Eliza Fletcher was last seen, according to an arrest affidavit. Durand noted that it took over a year for Abston to sign the guilty plea, calling the refusal “jailhouse braggadocio.” Durand also detailed Abston’s lengthy history in the juvenile court system. In the two years since his release, there were no further documented charges against Abston in Shelby County prior to his Saturday arrest, the Commercial Appeal reported.
