Fake kidnapping goes awry in Kershaw County
A Kershaw County man’s attempt to fake his own kidnapping Thursday went awry, starting when his mother negotiated down his ransom to $60 from $100.Christopher Hutto, 30, of Elgin was charged with extortion for orchestrating the kidnapping and then trying to get money from his mother, said Sheriff Jim Matthews.Hutto had tried to get his mother to pay $100 to find out where the supposed kidnapper had dumped his allegedly badly beaten body, Matthews said. But his mother got the suspected kidnapper to drop the price by $40 after she said couldn’t afford to pay that much for the information.“Maybe he was a problem child,” Matthews said, joking.Hutto’s mother began receiving text messages Thursday night that said her son had been severely beaten and dropped in the woods at an unknown location, Matthews said. The texts, which were coming from Hutto’s phone, also said he was near death.
