Two Georgia men were arrested and charged one month after allegedly kidnapping a woman at a gas station after she turned down their advances.
On Wednesday, the Dekalb County Sheriff’s office announced that 21-year-old Quentin Williams and Rodrequicge Allen, 19, were arrested and charged with one felony count of kidnapping, Newsweek reported.
According to inmate records, Allen was also charged with possessing a firearm by a convicted felon or first offender probationer.
The woman identified as, Monqua Johnson, was at an Exxon gas station on March 20 on Glenwood Road in Decatur, when Williams and Allen reportedly “made advances” toward Johnson “against her will,” the report stated.
“When she declined, the suspects allegedly abducted her and put her into the trunk of a car, releasing her later on Wesley Chapel Road,” police said.
DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit partnered with U.S. Marshals, and the DeKalb Police Department Gang Unit took the suspects into custody without incident. Williams and Allen were transported to DeKalb County Jail, where they are currently held without bond.
According to arrest warrants obtained by the outlet, the two suspects entered the Exxon gas station and went to a gaming room in the back of the building. Williams and Allen allegedly “forcefully removed the victim by pulling her hair and forcing her into the vehicle.”
“The victim was only able to convince the males to let her leave the car after saying that her cousin was following the car,” the warrant continued. Moments later, Johnson was reportedly released on the side of Wesley Chapel Road.
The gas station’s surveillance footage identified both Williams and Allen. Authorities also identified Williams based on the clothing he wore in his Instagram photos.
Authorities did not mention Johnson’s age while announcing the arrests of William and Allen on Wednesday.
