A Destin woman says two men forced her into a cream colored car outside her Destin home before 1 a.m. today, but her boyfriend was able to thwart their kidnapping attempt.
The 22-year-old told deputies that she had walked out of her driveway on Sandalwood Drive when a cream Crown Victoria or Cadillac style car with three men inside pulled up, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman said the driver was armed with a handgun and the two passengers were forcing her into the car’s back seat when her 22-year-old boyfriend ran up and pulled her out. The car then headed east on Sandalwood towards Beach Drive.
The woman described the front seat passenger as a black male, approximately 6’8” tall and 300 pounds, wearing a black tee-shirt. He had dropped a Florida Gators hat at the scene. She described the passenger in the rear seat as a black male, approximately 6-feet tall and slender.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office at 850-651-7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS.
