The victim stated the men appeared to be under the influence of drugs and had guns they were waving around.
As they traveled near Roy, the victim she spotted an officer driving by and attempted to roll down her window to call out for help but one of the suspects allegedly put the gun near her mouth and threatened her again. The victim, who was dropped off in Roy without her phone, used a secondary device to locate her phone and share the location with police.
