FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A man faced a Broward County judge on Thursday morning to face adult charges in connection with an alleged kidnapping at a Davie McDonald’s that led to a police chase in November.
Police said it happened on Nov. 13, the day before the newly-charged suspect, Khalil Kelly, turned 18 ― leading to an initial arrest on juvenile charges. He’s now facing counts of kidnapping and robbery.

According to investigators, Ross took a man’s phone off a table at the McDonald’s at 11200 State Road 84 in Davie and demanded that the victim “get into their vehicle in order to get his phone back.”
