Bail Bondsman Helps Police Catch Teenage Kidnapping Suspects

Posted

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A bail bondsman was in the right place to help stop some teenagers accused of kidnapping a man from the parking garage of a Tampa condominium complex.

The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/1WBeeqy ) Rod Fisher was returning from a court date Monday afternoon when he saw a man in a shirt and tie stumble out of a car carrying a gun. Two others got out of the car before ducking back inside and taking off.

Fisher called 911 and followed the speeding car, not knowing that the man was a victim of a foiled kidnapping. Police say he wrestled the gun from the teenage abductors moments earlier.

Then teens eventually abandoned the car and were arrested on charges of carjacking and kidnapping. Two are 15, one is 13.
