CINCINNATI -- A domestic violence and kidnapping suspect wasn't able to hide from police in a tree, thanks to his cell phone.

Police said Luis "Tony" Gonzales tried to kidnap his ex-girlfriend at knifepoint at her workplace in Green Township just after 8 a.m.

Officers said that after he forced the woman into her car, the car began to roll backward through the parking lot and down a hill, then crashed at the bottom.

When officers arrived, they said, Gonzales had fled the scene.

But his ex-girlfriend had his cell phone number, which she gave to police, WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

Officers were able to track Gonzales using the GPS signal from his phone, and the Hamilton County sheriff's helicopter found him 30 feet up a tree, the television station reported.

After an hour of negotiation, Gonzales surrendered to police.
