Three Teens Accused of Kidnapping Boy, 15
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Three teenagers kidnapped a 15-year-old and ordered his father to drop off a $50 ransom at a Taco Bell restaurant, authorities said. The father called police instead, and the teens were arrested.
Police said the dispute began over $50 that David Gibbs, 15, owed to Joseph Garrett, 17. Gibbs went to Garrett’s apartment Tuesday, and Garrett asked him to repay the money, police said.
Gibbs couldn’t pay up, so Garrett and two other teens punched him in the face and held him at knifepoint, then forced him to phone his father and ask him to drop the money in a planter at the Taco Bell, police said.
Ralph Gibbs called police, who set up undercover officers at the restaurant. Two people who took the cash told police that Garrett had paid them $10 for the deed, and they agreed to call Garrett to arrange a meeting at a Goodwill store.
Police who went there found 16-year-old Samuel Aidoo standing by a trash bin and found he was carrying a knife. Garrett, who was at his nearby apartment with the son, saw the officers and fled, police said. The son then left the apartment.
Aidoo, 16, and Victoria Aidoo, 15, were arrested Wednesday. Garrett turned himself in the next day.
The first drop-off point is always surrounded with cops. You catch them first spying on the point and don’t leave your address and phone number with the guy you gave $10 to.
Then you call from a pay phone and tell em “The deals off!” and raise the stakes …say like $50 plus 2000% interest for ripping you off.
The minute you decide ‘Taco Bell’ is a good drop-off point you’re begging for a few days in the ‘clink’.
Before you even notify the people who are supposed to pay up, you cut off a finger from the victim so that they know you mean business, and explicitly state NO COPS. Of course, if you’re not careful, they might call upon the power of T3h Ninjas to kick your ass.
Something like that happened to a buddy of mine. He kidnapped a guy, but it turned out to be a ninja. He escaped his bindings and called his ninja buddies by screaming MUSASHI!!. They appeared, Dim Mak’ed his ass, and 7 days later the guys head exploded while he was getting a blowjob from a hooker.
What was that movie where the plane crashed and those trailer trash people found the money and then the FBI was investigating…and things just got worse and worse for the people…it wasn’t FARGO but it had billy bob thornton and that blonde haired girl with the thin lips…hot thing back in the day…was her name Fonda?
That shot is from Fist of the North Star. If you’ve never seen it. It’s worth a rent. You wanna talk about Chi strikes, Dim Mak… Wow. The main character takes on hundreds of guys at once, and hits them once. A few seconds later their heads explode, arms get ripped off, their skin melts, etc. It’s highly entertaining, whether it be the series or the movie.
As for Akira. It’s a very meta-physical movie. I like it.
