WKYC Channel 3 Mark Carlson, the man accused of carjacking a vehicle at Taco Bell in Green and kidnapping three children, has pleaded guilty in the case.
The Cuyahoga Falls man pleaded guilty to the following charges on Friday, April 12:
- Robbery: 4 counts
- Felonious Assault
- Kidnapping: 3 counts
- Failure to comply
- Escape
Additionally, charges, including grand theft of a motor vehicle, abduction and endangering children, were dropped. The plea came less than a week before his trial was supposed to start in Summit County Common Pleas Court.
The incident began on Aug. 3, 2023, when Carlson carjacked a vehicle in Akron, but ran out of gas on Arlington Road in Green. Carlson allegedly then went to the BP station on Arlington Road and attempted to steal another vehicle, but was unsuccessful.
Investigators say Carlson then ran to the Taco Bell next door on Arlington Road and carjacked a vehicle in the drive-thru line. After a struggle with the female driver of the car, Carlson fled with the driver's three children, who were ages 6, 5 and 2.
