Three suspects accused of kidnapping a Pasco woman over a stolen cellphone are in jail on $500,000 bail.

Kelsey M. Cavazos, 18, of Kennewick; Carrie L. Childs, 48, of Richland; and Logan W. Roberts, 23, of Kennewick, made preliminary appearances Wednesday afternoon in Franklin County Superior Court.

Judge Cameron Mitchell ordered the three held in the Franklin County jail on investigation of first-degree kidnapping. Prosecutors have until Friday to charge or release them.

If charged, they are expected to enter pleas to the crime Tuesday.

Defense attorney Matt Rutt was appointed to represent Roberts, and Shelley Ajax was appointed to represent Childs. Cavazos told Mitchell that her mother was in court and would be hiring an attorney.

Prosecutor Shawn Sant asked for $500,000 bail based on the serious nature of the offense. He also said Pasco police still are continuing their investigation and he may ask for higher bail once more information is available.

Childs told Mitchell she has no prior criminal history. "This is the first time I've ever been in jail," she said.

Mitchell said the high bail was warranted because the allegations against her indicate "you are a danger to the community."

The 19-year-old victim was accused of taking a cellphone from a friend of the suspects, and they attempted to get the phone back by holding her against her will, said Pasco police Capt. Jim Raymond.

Victoria Cook called police at 11 a.m. Tuesday after she was able to escape from the Richland home and return to her house in the 600 block of North Douglas Street.

According to court documents, Cavazos went to Cook's home Monday, grabbed her arm and pulled her into a car. Cavazos then drove Cook to the area of Oregon Avenue and East Lewis Street, where she picked up Roberts and Childs, documents said.

They drove her to Childs' home in the 2400 block of Horizon View Lane in Richland and tied her up, documents said.

The three suspects apparently worked as a team to interrogate Cook, whose hands were bound, documents said. Cavazos is accused of repeatedly assaulting Cook, and Childs reportedly kicked her, documents said.

Cavazos told Cook that if she was not going to tell them the truth and they found out she was lying, they were going to tie her hands and feet and duct tape her mouth and throw her in the river, documents said.

Roberts apparently did not physically harm Cook, but he threatened to knock her out and stood by while Childs and Cavazos assaulted her, documents said.

Roberts also reportedly told Cook she was lucky he didn't knock her out and throw her into the river, documents said.
