ATLANTA — A man walked into a Newnan bank last week and handed the teller a note that said, “Keep me safe.” Now, two men are charged with kidnapping him.
The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the incident Wednesday, saying deputies responded to a Wells Fargo on Amlajack Boulevard and quickly stopped the suspects a block away. Their arrests were caught on body camera footage that was released to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday.
Deputies spoke with the kidnapping victim, who said two men — identified as 33-year-old Gabriel Lawrence and 38-year-old Terrence McPherson — picked him up in Atlanta after asking him if he wanted to make a couple of hundred dollars, sheriff’s office spokesperson Toby Nix said.
