Three men, two of them brothers, who kidnapped an Amscot manager and tied up several of his family members, were arrested Thursday, Osceola County Sheriff’s deputies said.
21-year-old Christopher Perry, his brother, 40-year-old Atwood Perry, Jr., and 29-year-old Jonathan A. Giraldo have all been charged with armed robbery, home invasion and kidnapping.
Investigators say, on Sunday, the trio entered the home of the Amscot manager in the 3000 block of Oakbrook Court in Kissimmee, posing as law enforcement officers. Once inside the men bound up his family members and forced him at gunpoint to drive to the Amscot on Hunters Oak Drive.
The manager was ordered to open the safe and the men made off with with cash, he told investigators.
Late Wednesday night, investigators caught up with Christopher and his brother Atwood in Columbia, South Carolina. Investigators say, the pair are in the Alvin S. Glenn Dention Center in Richland County.
Giraldo was arrested on Thursday in Lexington, Kentucky and is currently being held at the Fayette County Dentention Center.
Authorities say, a Crimeline tip provided information which led to the suspects.
All three were involved in the crimes and have been charged with armed home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping, armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, impersonating a law enforcement officer, among other crimes.
The trio will be extradited to Osceola County at a later date.
I am very sorry to see Atwood go down this path. He had so much potential. I did all I could to help him back in Columbia, when he worked for me.
