U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana
[PUBLISHED] Benton, Author, with Chief Judge Loken and Arnold,
Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - sentence. District court did not commit a significant
procedural error by applying an abduction enhancement, based on the use
of flattery, deceit, and parental authority to force his victim to leave
with him. Judge Arnold dissents, as evidence does not support a
conclusion that he forced victim to go with him.
