Three charged with kidnapping in Lehigh Acres

Three people were arrested by the Lee County Sheriff's Office for attempting to kidnap a man in Lehigh Acres on Tuesday night.

Stacy Ann Gargano, Brian Naumann and Maurice Herrera were arrested Wednesday and charged with kidnapping, robbery with a firearm and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

According to an arrest report:

The victim was walking to a store to buy cigarettes when he was approached by a car with Naumann and Herrera, both 28, inside of it.

The victim was offered a ride and accepted. When he wasn't taken to where he wanted to go, the victim asked to be let out of the car. But instead, the suspects drove him to a home in the 4700 block of Third Street West.

The victim was held at gunpoint and told to go inside of the home. The victim was beat up by Naumann, Herrera and Gargano, 30, inside of the home, according to the report.

They accused him of ratting them out to law enforcement for a previous crime. They tried to restrain him with zip ties, but the victim fought back and got away.

The victim ran to a neighbor's door and called for help. The three suspects chased after the victim but were unable to get to him.

Deputies found Gargano at the home where the altercation occurred. Herrera and Naumann were located at a second home on the 5000 block of 28th Street Southwest in Lehigh Acres.

Gargano was released on $145,000 bond Thursday. Naumann is being held on $155,000 bond and Herrera is being held on $145,000 bond at the Lee County Jail.
