CLEVELAND – Two Cuyahoga County men were indicted for a failed kidnapping that took place on April 3rd.
According to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley, Cuyahoga County grand jury has returned an indictment charging Sean Simpkins, 39, and David McCord, 43, for attempting to kidnap and human traffic a 22-year-old female at an RTA Station in Cleveland.
“On April 3, 2022, around 3 p.m., Sean Simpkins entered the West 98th Street RTA station and approached the female victim, 22. He then assaulted her and dragged her out to a car parked on West 98th Street and Lorain Avenue.
