Full story

LAPD SWAT units caused a stir on Aug. 3 when their caravan of scary looking vehicles sped through the San Gabriel Valley en route to a hostage rescue in Mira Loma.

The hostage had been shot through the gut and was apparently being held in a marijuana grow house.

The feds announced today they have indicted three suspects. Read the complaint against them below. It sounds like a wild, wild case. Highlights include the alleged bad guys attempting to secure $1 million in ransom from the man’s family in Russia and treating the gunshot wound through his bowel with Pepto Bismol and Mylanta.
