Authorities say a homeless man robbed a good Samaritan at knifepoint before kidnapping the victim and leaving him tied up in a Mississippi hotel room. News outlets report that 45-year-old Ernest Eugene Leffew was arrested Monday and charged with kidnapping and armed robbery. Investigators say Leffew asked the victim for a ride, took the man's wallet and reportedly forced him to drive to several ATMs to withdraw money. Authorities say he then tied the man up in a wooded area, later untied him, and forced him to drive to a hotel room. Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson says Leffew tied the victim up again in the hotel room and fled in the man's vehicle.
