Nalah Jackson, 24, was ultimately arrested in Indianapolis Thursday night and charged with felony battery of bodily waste, according to Marion County, Indiana jail records.
She will be extradited to Columbus, Ohio, where police said Jackson will face two counts of kidnapping.

Kyair Thomas was found abandoned but safe at the Dayton International Airport, about 70 miles west of the Donatos Pizza, at about 4:45 a.m. Tuesday, according to police.

Officers found Jackson and arrested her and continued to search for Kason until he was found.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department posted a photo of an officer carrying baby Kason snuggled inside a heavy jacket.
