OCALA, Fla. (AP) – Police say an Ocala man kidnapped a woman at gunpoint because her boyfriend owed him $2,000 in drug money.
Ocala police on Wednesday said 21-year-old Devin Jacquan Jackson was arrested on suspicion of armed kidnapping after the woman texted her family during the alleged abduction.

Police say Jackson told the woman she had to come with him to look for the boyfriend.
