The man, who was kidnapped by three people posing as interested dog buyers, purposely committed a traffic violation to get pulled over by police deputies in Martin County, according to a statement from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

“When the victim, who was forced to drive the vehicle, saw the deputy, he intentionally committed a traffic infraction in hopes of being pulled over. It worked,” according to a statement from police. “The victim then used a hand motion in hopes that the deputy would pick up on his fear. The deputy did, and ordered the man to step away from the car and away from the three other men who were sitting inside the vehicle.”
The victim, who was not identified by police but resides in Port St. Lucie, told officers that the men had arrived at his home and claimed to be dog buyers. The trio then robbed and assaulted the victim and demanded that “he hand over the large amounts of cash he boasted about” online.
After a search of the vehicle, officers found guns, knives, and large amounts of cash.
Tsdekiel Sellers of Atlanta, 22, Benyahveen Radcliffe of Buffalo, 25, and Kashaveeyah Bragdon of Tallahassee, 22, were arrested at the scene. They were initially charged with unlicensed carry of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and providing a false name.
