Three men are facing federal charges over a bizarre Florida kidnapping plot, during which they reportedly captured the wrong person and waterboarded him into assisting them.
Two brothers and another man are facing federal charges following a kidnapping that took some bizarre twists, including an attempted waterboarding when they tried to make the victim help them lure the intended target, federal officials said Tuesday. The suspects kidnapped the man at gunpoint outside his apartment in Plantation, Florida, on Oct. 13, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court.
The suspects were arrested by law enforcement and remained jailed Tuesday in Broward County, Florida. On Monday, Jeffrey Arista, 32, and Jonathan Arista, 29, had their initial appearances in federal court in Miami. The third suspect, 33-year-old Raymond Gomez, has not yet appeared in court. Lawyers for the Arista brothers did not immediately respond Tuesday to emails seeking comment. No lawyer was listed for Gomez in court records, and a phone number for him was not available.
The three face a maximum life prison sentence if convicted.
