Alleged kidnapping victim in Akron tells police of escape; possible suspect found dead

April Helms
A man told Akron police he was kidnapped at knifepoint Friday night after a dispute at a South Arlington Street bar.

The man told officers early Saturday morning that he was able to escape his captors.

He told police that a struggle ensued inside the vehicle as it was traveling south on Route 21 in Wayne County. During the struggle, the driver of the vehicle was struck by a single gunshot and fled from the vehicle. The wound is not considered to be life threatening, according to Akron police officers.

The victim was able to take control of the vehicle and drive off.

Ohio State Highway Patrol later responded to a person who appeared to have been hit and killed by a car on the same stretch of road. Police believe that person is the second suspect.

Well yippee ki yay, citizen.

Thanks again to our Gun Bunny and Old Tanker for the links.

Peoples do not judge in the same way as courts of law; they do not hand down sentences, they throw thunderbolts; they do not condemn kings, they drop them back into the void; and this justice is worth just as much as that of the courts.
