Columbia County deputies have arrested a man on kidnapping charges that appeared to be related to illegal drug activity.
Jason Wilson, 18, of Lake City, was charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, and aggravated assault after investigators said he kidnapped a man at gunpoint and held him against his will.
Deputies eventually made contact with Wilson and a woman at the house’s front porch after giving them commands to come out with their hands up. At some point during the drive to the pub, the woman pulls the car into a slit in a wooded area where, according to the arrest report, Wilson jumped out in front of the car with a pistol in his hand while wearing a ski mask and a ballistic vest. According to the arrest report, Wilson said he was going to shoot the victim for snitching on him to a drug dealer he owed $400. The report states the drug dealer put a hit out on Wilson.
