Dearborn Man Arrested in Pennsylvania for Kidnapping Daughter

Jafar Almaarej, a 39-year-old man from Dearborn, was arrested in Pennsylvania after allegedly kidnapping his 7-year-old daughter in violation of a custody order. The incident began when Almaarej took his daughter from his ex-wife's home in Millcreek, Pennsylvania, despite a no-contact order from a judge. Authorities issued an urgent search involving multiple police departments and the U.S. Marshals Service, with Almaarej last seen driving a black Jeep Wrangler. He was apprehended after being spotted in Pittsburgh and subsequently turned himself in, ensuring the child's safety and reunion with her mother. Almaarej now faces multiple charges, including kidnapping and making terroristic threats. Police emphasize the importance of public assistance during the search and the safe resolution of the case.
