A Wayne County man has been arrested in connection with a human trafficking case, authorities said Tuesday.

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office Special Weapons and Tactics Unit and the FBI located an alleged kidnapping victim from the Lexington, Ky., area in southern Wayen County last Friday, authorities said.

Two suspects were detained for questioning in the case, and Anmer Uliser Salas Zunun, 25, of 201 Doug Drive, was charged with  kidnapping for ransom, authorities said. The FBI is in the process of charging Zunun and two other suspects with human trafficking and kidnapping, authorities said.

Zunun is being held in the Wayne County Jail on a $50,000 bond and has a detainer for the pending FBI charges, authorities said.

The alleged victim, Tomas Salis Tomas, has been returned to his family in Kentucky, authorities said.

slave trade....do you realize that perhaps 40% of blacks alive today are from "slave" families....the rest freely migrated here from numerous other countries...its just so time to get over the slavery thing.

Most illegal immigrants do not come across the border they simply fly in...i think 90% or so fly in...and guess what when they want to go home..they turn themselves in and fly home on the taxpayers dime...

Illigal immigrant women and men make babies over here every day , they end up at social services , get food stamps, any kind of free services, and their parents benifit from , stand at the doors at wal-mart see how many come in with a basket of babies .

ralwood - The point is, they broke the law to get here, therefore, there is no indication that that care about the laws now that they are here, at least from my stand-point. They want the same rights as the U.S. citizen has but don't want to go thru the proper channel's to obtain their citizen-ship. If they don't get their way, they protest & show their butts hoping to get their way. What part of illegal don't people get? If I break the law or any other citizen breaks the law, we are held accountable for it. These people disregarded the law the moment they stepped across the border. So it is my opinion that all illegals be sent back and go thru the process of becoming a citizen & learn how to speak ENGLISH.

Why this is very interesting indeed:

Looks like more information is available on the case.
