Calif. man arrested for allegedly kidnapping actor

A man has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping actor Jeremy London and forcing him to use drugs, police said Thursday.

A statement from Palm Springs police said London, who appeared on TV's "7th Heaven" and "Party of Five," was kidnapped while changing a flat tire on June 10.

The 37-year-old actor told police that several men helped him and he offered them a ride home. Police said one man later pulled a gun, forced London to drive around, buy alcohol and take drugs.

London said he escaped but his car was stolen. Police later found it and on June 11 arrested 26-year-old Brandon Adams of Palm Springs.

Adams has been charged with kidnapping and other crimes and remains jailed. It was not immediately known if he has retained a lawyer.

6. Was he the cocky quarterback in "Dazed and Confused"?

That story sounds like a plotline right out of that movie.

7. That's his twin brother, Jason London.

However, Jeremy London did play Nathaniel Bedford in "I'll Fly Away," if anyone remembers that excellent TV show.



edited because I had the wrong twin credited for the TV show - they do look alike, after all!
