A woman with a history of drug possession and prostitution charges faces several new charges in connection with an alleged kidnapping. Two men were also arrested.
Edie Jean Wells, 33, was charged by the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office with robbery, financial transaction card fraud, identity theft, kidnapping, prostitution and failure to appear on past drug charges.
Patrick Ellison and Frank Mack also face robbery, financial transaction card fraud, identity theft and kidnapping charges.
“She was working in conjunction with two other men — Ellison and Mack — and went to a Hispanic man’s residence with the intent to rob him,” said Maj. John Gibson with the sheriff’s office. “Wells approached the man and offered him sex. He said he didn’t have any money and didn’t want sex, and told her to leave. Two black males were outside, and she brought them in to threaten the man.”
Gibson said the man did have sex with the woman due to the threats of the two men, but still couldn’t give them any money.
“At some point they discovered he had an ATM card and took him to a bank, but the card was refused because his paycheck had not been deposited,” Gibson said. “They kept him for several hours until the check hit, then got the money with the ATM card and released the man.”
Sheriff’s deputies were looking for the trio when they learned they had been arrested in Cobb County on drug possession charges, Gibson said. The deputies put a hold on them and brought Wells back to Whitfield County for questioning.
