Jerry while attempting to rob a federally insured bank is interrupted by the arrival of the police. In an attempt to escape, he forces the bank teller to accompany him into the bank parking lot

When arrives in the parking lot, he frees the bank teller. Has he committed the crime of kidnapping?


The primary issue is whether or not the movement of the teller from the bank to the bank's parking lot. Is that movement sufficient to constitute the required asportation? Probably under most modern statutes it is. Generally present day statutes require only substantial movement. The movement would probably qualify as substantial movement.
