The indictment charges Beckman; Blake Laubinger, 24, of Pacific; Caleb Laubinger, 26, of Pacific; and Kerry Roades, 55, of Fenton, with one felony count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and one felony count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Zachary Smith, 24, was indicted on one felony count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Charging documents say that the Laubinger brothers were waiting when the victim arrived home on Nov. 21.

They beat and kidnapped him, taking him to Blake Laubinger’s home in Pacific in a rented truck, documents say.

They held him in the basement with zip ties, duct tape and handcuffs and called his mother in Florida and demanded money, prosecutors claim. He was shocked with a Taser, and Beckman and Roades held a gun to his head, charging documents say.

The man was later taken to a shipping container on Beckman’s property in Fenton and held overnight, the documents say.

He was taken to the Gravois Bluffs area in a St. Louis Tan Co. van the next day and released after the kidnappers were paid $27,000, charging documents claim.
