Oceanside Pair Arrested in Abduction
Police arrested two Oceanside men early Thursday after they kidnaped a man and led officers on chases through Orange and San Diego counties, authorities said.
The two were captured after accosting the victim, Cordell Jones, 23, of Oceanside, at a local motel and threatening to kill him once they returned him to their Oceanside employer, who apparently is involved in drugs, San Clemente Police Sgt. Richard Downing said.
David A. Jackson, 26, and Anthony R. Turner, 26, both of Oceanside, face charges including kidnaping, assault and battery and evading police, Downing said.
Jackson was being held in San Clemente City Jail and Turner was being held in Vista Jail.
