Cayce announced Wednesday evening that a man has been charged in a Tuesday night kidnapping.
"Tonight we are charging Shyheem Malik Phillips with vehicle theft and kidnapping." Cayce Director of Public Safety  Byron Snellgrove said. "Last night, he stole a car at one of our Cayce businesses and in doing so, he took an innocent 2-year-old little girl. 
"I’m proud of our Department - our officers acted swiftly, followed every lead and investigated every detail. And I’m grateful for a caring community and the media who shared the information that helped us identify the suspect.
"We were able to quickly remove the person suspected of these crimes from the streets of Cayce and Lexington County.
"What’s most important is that young Carlee and her dog were safely returned to her family."
