Authorities drop kidnapping charges against Antwain Fisher in Aniah Blanchard case

One of the three suspects initially charged in relation to the homicide of Aniah Blanchard, stepdaughter of UFC heavyweight Walt Harris, saw their charges dropped earlier this week. According to WAGM8 Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes has dropped a first-degree kidnapping charge against Antwain Fisher, 35.

Fisher was arrested in Auburn, AL in November. This came after U.S. Marshals captured Ibraheem Yazeed, 30, in Escambia County, FL. Yazeed has been charged with capital murder and is accused of killing Blanchard after abducting her on the night of October 23rd.

Fisher was initially accused of aiding Yazeed, by providing transportation and disposing of evidence.
