The Northwest Side woman who had allegedly kidnapped a three-year-old girl from a CVS pharmacy in the Avondale neighborhood last month has been formally charged. Forty-four year old Jeanette Roldan is scheduled for arraignment on December 29 at the Cook County Criminal Court for aggravated kidnapping. One month ago today, three-year-old Sana Patel walked out of the CVS at 3311 N. Pulaski at about 2:30 p.m. with Roldan, who had been talking with the child as evidenced by security camera tapes for that date. On a police tip, the girl was found at about 9:20 p.m. that evening in an alley near Kostner and Wellington. Luckily, little Sana Patel was found safe and unharmed. -- By Amy Wilschke
