'Party of Five' Star Kidnapped, Forced to 'Smoke Dope'
Actor Jeremy London -- who starred in TV's 'Party of Five' -- found himself in a terrifying situation this month when he was kidnapped by two men and forced to smoke drugs, according to
a RadarOnline report. The details of the incident are quite unbelievable, and two men have been charged so far. After the jump, how the harrowing events played out.
Update: The district attorney's office said a man in custody, Brandon Adams, 26, of Palm Springs, has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping London and forcing him to use drugs, the
Associated Press reports. Adams remains in jail after a late Thursday arraignment on five charges including kidnapping and theft.
According to
the Radar report, the 37-year-old London was changing a flat tire in Palm Springs, California, on June 10 when two men pulled over, initially claiming they wanted to help him. Things then took a quick turn, and London found himself being forcibly kidnapped by the two men.
The men then drove London in his own car, holding him at gunpoint the entire time.
Five hours later, London somehow escaped, but according to what he told the police, the kidnapping was just the beginning of his scary and wild night.
"He told officers [during the kidnapping] that he was forced to smoke dope and then purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs," Sergeant Steve Douglas of the Palm Springs Police Department told RadarOnline.com.
Two men, whose identities haven't been revealed, have been arrested and charged over the incident -- and it was all by chance. A police officer had driven by the two men while they were helping London change his tire, and was later able to identify them.
The drug portion of this story is doubly serious for London, who has battled drug addiction in the past. In September of 2009, he checked into rehab to fight his prescription pill addiction.

ok, AS he was changing his tire, they pulled up? "wanting to help him" ok.. sounds fishy, for the fact that they instantly kidnapped him and drove his OWN VEHICLE. FUNNY. didnt he have a flat tire he was changing? did they fix it BEFORE? or did they drive with it flat? because the story said it took a sudden turn or what not. so... maybe someone needs to check into this, and even check fingerprints on the DRIVERS SIDE DOOR.and steering wheel. that would possibly prove , "if on the steering wheel" that someone besides him, has driven the vehicle at the time, Match em with the suspects, and POW! case nearly closed.

My how time flies when you're getting high. Probably just an
excuse to tell his wife. No one would have been arrested if
the officer hadn't seen them earlier and knew who the men
were. He was probably with the two men and they probably
did smoke some dope but they probably didn't force it on him.
And who goes to the "hood" and hands out liquor?

Well, I know someone not famous that this did happen to and while they kept the man doped up on crack at gun point they ran his debit card to the max each day for 4 days and used his credit cards to charge things and add cash back and in the end planned to kill him when there was no more money. They took the rear view mirror out of his car so that he could not be found with On-Star. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.

I wonder if they also forced him to binge on pizza & beer when he got the munchies, or was that just voluntary?

How sad..... This poor fella is probably not wanting to let it be known that he fell back into his drug addiction.
Tell the truth son.... There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.... You might not see it yet.... But walk slowly in a straight line, and the light will get bigger for you.
Good luck son.
