COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Bond has been set for a 17-year-old girl accused of helping a former South Carolina police officer kidnap and hold hostage the man’s estranged wife and child.

Jamie Lynn Burgess was being held at a Lexington County jail Tuesday on $450,000 bond. She faces several charges including kidnapping, carjacking and assault.

There was no telephone number for the teen and a woman who answered the phone at the jail didn’t know if Burgess had a lawyer.

Authorities say Burgess and 25-year-old David Dietz surrendered Monday morning after a 13-hour standoff at a Georgia motel. The two had been holed up in a second floor room with 7-month-old Allim
David Dietz and Dietz’s estranged wife, 29-year-old Eva Arce-Perez.

Dietz was awaiting arraignment in federal court in Macon, Ga., Tuesday afternoon.
