Man Saves Himself From Kidnappers By Getting Pulled Over For Erratic Driving

Port St. Lucie, Florida, -- A Florida man who was held at gunpoint while at the wheel saved himself from his abductors by driving erratically, forcing the cops to pull him over for a traffic violation.

The unidentified victim from Port St. Lucie fell prey to the three suspects after boasting about his dog breeding business online. The suspects entered his home last week, posing as interested dog buyers, where they robbed and assaulted him, Martin County Sheriff's office said in a news release.

The ordeal went on for two days while the victim was forced to drive through different locations and threatened to hand over the large amounts of cash he boasted about.

Once, while the victim was forced to drive to a location that required them to travel through Martin County, he noticed the police patrol on the road. The victim then drove erratically, hoping that he would get caught for a traffic violation. "It worked," the police said, as reported by NBC News.

"Once stopped, the victim, who was afraid to say he was being kidnapped, had a look of despair when the deputy gave him a warning and started to send him on his way. The victim then used a hand motion in hopes that the deputy would pick up on his fear," the news release said.

The deputy got the hint and asked the victim to step away from the three men seated inside the vehicle.

The police then learned about the man's ordeal and took the three other men, identified as Tsdekiel Sellers, 22, of Atlanta, Benyahveen Radcliffe, 25, from Buffalo in New York, and Kashaveeyah Bragdon, 22, of Tallahassee, into custody.

The trio faced multiple charges including, kidnapping, carjacking, armed burglary, and home invasion, Wesh 2 reported.

The suspects claimed that they are part of a group called the Israelites, police said. They will be shifted from Martin County Jail to the St. Lucie County Jail, and later to state prison, reports said.

Last month, the police in China rescued 11 men who were held captive by a group of armed criminals after a 10-year-old girl chanced upon a banknote with a handwritten message begging for help. The note said that the men were made to work for a pyramid scheme on the third floor of a building in the city.
