Two Moss Point men charged with kidnapping another Moss Point man on Christmas Eve
Two Moss Point men are in jail, charged with kidnapping another Moss Point man in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve.
Sheriff Mike Ezell says the 50-year-old victim was pistol whipped and beaten, suffering several injuries that required medical treatment.
The sheriff says 40-year-old Preston Lynn Houston and 42-year-old Christopher Wayne Stevens took the victim at gunpoint from a home on Bayou Cumbest Road around 1 a.m. December 24th.
They allegedly put him in the trunk of a Jeep liberty and drove to another home in Moss Point. There, the sheriff says, the man was beaten and then put into the trunk of another car.
While at a red light in east Pascagoula the man managed to pull the trunk release and ran into the woods, going to a house for help.
Houston and Stevens are both jailed on $100,000 bond each. However, Houston won’t be able to bond out because he was out on a felony bond posted December 23rd in Pike County.
