A court proceeding for one of three men accused of multiple felonies, including kidnapping, on April 26, 2018, is scheduled to be held on Monday, June 17.
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, who allegedly held two females against their will; raped and assaulted them; and demanded ransom money.
