Kidnappers had ties to Aryan Brotherhood, police say
Four men who investigators say are members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas are now behind bars on triple kidnapping charges.
The suspects are Anthony Almeida, Keven Radford, Samuel Sikes, and Andrew Setllitano.
Officials with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office say they held two men and a woman against their will at a rented home north of Leander.
According to police, one of the victims was also associated with the Aryan Brotherhood.
Investigators said both men were beaten during the ordeal. One jumped out of a pickup truck while they were being moved to another location.
Police say the suspects then let the other man go. A SWAT team later rescued the woman from the house.
The suspects are charged with organized criminal activity and aggravated kidnapping, which is a first degree felony that could get them a prison sentence of five years to life.
