MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA - Two suspects have been arrested in connection with an arranged robbery and kidnapping that occurred in late August, according to the Montgomery Police Department.
Marquice Leon Barnett, 23 and John Ladell Brown, Jr., 19, are both charged with two counts of first-degree robbery and first-degree kidnapping.
Court documents accuse both men of kidnapping two people from the Studio Lodge in the 1200 block of Eastern Boulevard on August 25.
After robbing the victims at gunpoint, Barnett and Brown allegedly forced them into their car and drove to the Patterson Court Apartments. There, they stripped both victims, beat them and threatened to kill them, according to court documents.
Barnett and Brown were identified as the suspects and taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Task Force on Monday.
Both are being held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility.
Shaquita Anderson, 34, was previously arrested on Sept. 3 in connection to the incident and charged with two counts of first-degree robbery and one count of kidnapping in the first degree.
