PHOENIX -- A woman who was kidnapped from her job at Sky Harbor International Airport over the weekend has been found safe in Mesa.

Melissa Rodriguez, 22, was dropped off at a friend's home Sunday night.

According to witnesses, Rodriguez was kidnapped by her estranged husband, Antonio Rivera, 27, Sunday afternoon. Those witnesses told police Rivera twisted Roriguez' arm behind her back and took her from the airport by force.

Rodriguez works for a contract cleaning service and was on the job, working in Terminal 4, at the time of the incident.

Rodriguez reportedly is in the process of divorcing Rivera and had a restraining order against him.
