'Party of Five' Star Kidnapped, Forced to 'Smoke Dope'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 17th 2010 09:42AM

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.

London clearly fabricated the story.

It is rather ironic that he played Randall "Pink" Floyd in the movie Dazed and Confused and smoked pot in the movie and was warned by his coach!

To all of the people saying they don't believe this, why don't you know how to read?

"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 incident is corroborated by a cop, you bunch of nozzles!

Learn to read.

If no charges have been filed against Billy Ray Cyrus for being a pedophile as well as the pimp of his daughter,,Whats there to charge Perez with?

A hell of a publicity stunt I must say.

By bobo

I too was kidnapped recently and forced to smoke some dope.I believe this all happened on Interstate 420 and boy what a ride it was!!!! :)

Oh, and by the way, he was also forced to have sex with a beautiful blond and made to eat a 32 oz porterhouse from "Morton's". He was terrifed when they forced him to snort cocaine but calmed down when they took him to a casino and let him keep his winnings. If this moron gets away with it, I'm moving to California....what a bunch of retards.

please kidnap me

By g.

Did they force him to have sex with them or produce a porn video with him? Did they have him rob a bank or convenience store too? Or, maybe they forced him to buy swamp land in Oklahoma. If they were to kidnap someone, like Mr. London at gunpoint, don't you think they would have had a lot more fun with him than just forcing him to smoke dope!! Get real Mr. London!

Where are these guys when I get a flat tire? Is there some sort of 800 number for this?

I was kidnapped and forced to read this crap!!

By rominakatz

I wonder if he got to change the flat tire, and where the car ended up. If the "kidnappers" didn't take it, then not even the most cynical of lawyers wouldn't take his BOLOGNA case.
Why not just admit that he fell off the wagon?

I Live in PS and avoid this area with every part of my being. Could most definitely have happened. A 60 plus security guard working a new development near the area was beaten to death not all that long ago. The stories are abundant! Crips territory! Five hours....poor guy, there's no telling what else he was forced to do. Have no doubt that they must have played with the guy for their amusement as a cat would with a mouse before he devours it. The area is dark and isolated. Police do not even patrol at night. It's a miracle that he escaped. A miracle if there ever was one. The boy is lucky to be alive. Have some mercy on this poor guy! What would you have done?

I've always known dope to be coke or heroine. Never weed. As for his story crazier things have happened. I won't doubt the truth to this just yet until they interrogate those they arrested. If there is no truth to it they will be singing like canaries to stay out of jail.
