June 17th, 2010
Former Party of Five and 7th Heaven star, Jeremy London, has revealed that he was kidnapped and held at gunpoint in Palm Springs last week, with his rep saying he is now safe and back with his family in an “undisclosed location.”
Palm Springs Police Department have confirmed that the 37-year-old was changing a flat tire at approximately 2pm, when he was offered assistance by two men.
“A short time later, he was held at gunpoint in the vehicle by one of the occupants,” a police report states. “The gunman forced London to drive to various locations throughout the city, purchase alcohol and use illicit drugs.”
London’s rep, Dominic Friesen, says that the actor is now fine and back with his family.
“Thankfully, Jeremy London survived his terrorizing ordeal in Palm Springs last week—although understandably shaken and scared, he is currently working closely with law enforcement as they investigate the horrific turn of events,” Friesen said in a statement.
He added, “Jeremy is spending quality time in an undisclosed location with family and friends, and appreciates the overwhelming support from his fans.”
Police have arrested one of the men, Brandon Adams, who has been charged with kidnapping, robbery, possession of stolen property, vehicle theft and carjacking.
