According to WBRZ, the woman was calling out for her son when she found Guy in their apartment. Guy told her, "He would be back."

After the victim told Guy he wasn't welcome in her home, he held the woman at gunpoint while stealing a PlayStation 5. That's when two armed men forced her son outside and into a vehicle.

Details regarding where they took her son or what their intentions were have not been disclosed at this time; however, WBRZ says the woman's son returned unharmed to the home later.

The identity of the other two men involved in the kidnapping has not been revealed yet.

On Tuesday, Guy was arrested and now faces aggravated kidnapping, robbery, and battery charges.
