An East Coast landlord, Shawn Douglas, is out on bail after being arrested and accused of kidnapping tenants from his property, driving them 30 miles away to a cemetery and leaving them there!!
The 2 tenants who accused the landlord of the kidnapping claim he abducted them, restrained the with zip ties and covered their heads with pillowcases! After which he drove them to a cemetery in a town called Ghent!
One of the kidnapping victims says they broke free from the restraints and was able to find help from some people who lived near by. An Albany County Sheriff said they were lucky someone got free because they would have froze to death out there!
The landlord reports that his frustrations stemmed from the statewide ban on evictions.
Welp, is it worth going to jail for kidnapping? I get that landlords and tenants who can't get paid to pay rent are frustrated but trying to physically displace people to a cemetery is not the way!!!
