The Houston Police Department said 52-year-old Melvin Porter allegedly took his ex-girlfriend hostage and forced her to drive for hours after swapping places with her co-worker, who Porter allegedly kidnapped. Police say they found Porter at a Shell gas station after his ex-girlfriend convinced him to stop to use the bathroom.
