(Editor’s note: This story first published at the Montgomery Advertiser, part of the USA TODAY Network.) A Lee County judge has ruled Ibraheem Yazeed, charged in 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard’s disappearance, to be held without bond . According to court records filed Tuesday morning, prosecutors argued that Yazeed’s “extensive history of violent criminal offenses,” the fact he was on bond at the time of Blanchard’s alleged kidnapping and that he fled to Escambia County, Fla., as evidence for the no bond. District Judge Russell Bush agreed, according to the order. In the same filing, Bush also ruled that “the parties and any potential witnesses” in the case are “prohibited from making any statements to members of the media, or directly discussing their involvement in this case or any current or future trial proceedings with members of the media.” Yazeed, 29, was captured late Thursday evening after he was named a person of interest and a warrant was issued on a charge of first-degree kidnapping.
