So now the guy is saying he was abducted, which doesn't seem to pan out according to surveillance videos. (Man, cameras are absolutely everywhere these days.)
I figure he's in house rifling through crap, residents get home and there's a confrontation. Weird that the guy with the knife got the drop on a guy with a gun.
If he was trying to leave and then wouldn't let him leave, is that technically kidnapping?
Bullshit either way. But I'm just curious.
I think if someone is robbing your house you can legally take custody of them and call the cops (citizen's arrest).
Statute 22-2403: Arrest by private person. A person who is not a law enforcement officer may arrest another person when: (1) A felony has been or is being committed and the person making the arrest has probable cause to believe that the arrested person is guilty thereof; or
(2) any crime, other than a traffic infraction or a cigarette or tobacco infraction, has been or is being committed by the arrested person in the view of the person making the arrest.
Statute 21-3216: Private person's use of force in making arrest. (1) A private person who makes, or assists another private person in making a lawful arrest is justified in the use of any force which he would be justified in using if he were summoned or directed by a law enforcement officer to make such arrest, except that he is justified in the use of force likely to cause death or great bodily harm only when he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another. (2) A private person who is summoned or directed by a law enforcement officer to assist in making an arrest which is unlawful, is justified in the use of any force which he would be justified in using if the arrest were lawful.
