But while speaking, the suspect explained that he hit the policeman at the checkpoint thinking he was one of the kidnappers tormenting motorists on the road. James said “As I was going, I started hearing different things about a kidnapper driving a black Tundra. Believing the police cannot just shoot at me, I believe they were robbers and maneuvered to come out at another location.
