HARTINGTON - A woman accused of kidnapping two Hartington children is out of jail on bond.
Court documents indicate that 33-year old Leah LaCroix bonded herself out of jail on Wednesday. She was being held in the Cedar County Jail on 10% of $50,000 bond.
LaCroix was arrested in Omaha on Friday. Cedar County authorities say she had been given permission to take nine-year old Lauren Howell and 11-month old London Howell to Omaha for a day trip. Authorities say the children's father became worried when he couldn't get a hold of LaCroix, and Cedar County authorities stated that they believed LaCroix had kidnapped the children, prompting an AMBER Alert.
LaCroix faces two felony kidnapping charges. She'll be back in court for a preliminary hearing on September 23rd.
