Former NFL Draft Pick arrested in Mississippi on Kidnapping Charges
Jerrell Powe was drafted in the sixth round by the Kansas City Chiefs after a stellar career with the University of Mississippi. The 35-year-old will now be spending some time in jail after he was arrested on kidnapping charges.
According to police reports, Powe remained jailed Monday in the Jackson suburb of Ridgeland with no bail set.
Powe and another person were arrested on Thursday at a bank in the city.
The kidnapping began in Laurel, 75 miles southeast of Jackson, and ended after the victim was able to contact Ridgeland police. The person is safe.
Powe is scheduled to make an initial appearance before a judge this week.
