Officials say the victim, a dog breeder, flashed a hand signal to alert law enforcement he was in danger.
A deputy noticed the sign and called the man over. The speeding was on purpose, the driver told the officer — the passengers had been holding him hostage, and this had been his first chance to get help.
Radcliffe and Sellers first interacted with the victim at his Port St. Lucie home on June 14, according to a report from the Port St. Lucie Police Department, which assisted with the investigation. After Bragdon dropped them off, the pair tried to break into the victim’s house, but the victim “developed a ruse” to get them out, he told officers. He did not contact law enforcement after the incident.
After a few stops, all three suspects got into the victim’s car and allegedly instructed him to drive to Fort Lauderdale so they could collect the puppies. It was then that the dog breeder came up with his plan, the report says.
