One of three men accused of several felonies, including kidnapping, is due in an area courtroom on Wednesday, June 20.
According to online court documents, the men are accused of holding two females against their will, raping and assaulting them and demanding ransom money.
According to a probable-cause statement, members of multiple law-enforcement agencies arrived at the scene of the reported kidnapping at the Super 8 Motel in Higginsville and arrested the three men on April 26.
Court documents say Jaciel Acdala Mendez-Morales, whose bond was set at $500,000 cash only, is scheduled to appear for a hearing at 9:30 a.m. at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
Others charged in the case include Alain Gaspar Camarillo-Linan ($750,000 bond) and Luis Angel Sierra-Vallina ($500,000 bond). Their cases still are being litigated, as well.
