A South Carolina man was a/rrested after he allegedly faked his own ki/dnapping to try to swindle his mother out of $130. Emmanuel Franklin, 19, plotted his alleged plan on Jan. 22, according to WLTX.
Franklin reportedly told his mother that if she didn't put the money in a mailbox of his choosing, that he would be m/urdered by ki/dnappers. The mother told Sumter County deputies she received a call from her son and a man she didn't know, and relayed the i/ncident to them. The man later reportedly fessed up to investigators, and allegedly admitted to trying to get the money from his mother.
