Florida police arrested two men accused of robbing and then briefly kidnapping a man Saturday night, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The victim was able to jump out of his car during his brief abduction, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
According to the Sheriff’’s Office, Chrishaud Montgomery, 17, and Quadre Brown, 21, along with an unnamed third person, broke into the home of Dwayne Times, 27, of Oldsmar. The three men, wearing masks, pistol-whipped Times and demanded drugs and money, deputies said.
