Victim Testifies Against Brother-in-Law in Alleged Kidnapping and Torture Case

Twenty five-year-old Rayon Scarlett is accused of kidnapping and assaulting his brother-in-law in retribution for cooperating with police in a previous investigation into Scarlett's alleged criminal activity.

According to The Times Herald, Khanneil Headley took the stand Thursday morning, Jan. 10, to testify against Rayon Scarlett, the brother of his estranged wife and the mother of the couple's two children, Kemara Scarlett.

Scarlett is reportedly being charged with kidnapping, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and theft in connection with a March 2008 incident in which authorities say he and three other men showed up at Headley's apartment, held him at gunpoint, tied him up and threatened to get "rid of him" in retribution for Headley's cooperation with police in a previous investigation into alleged drug- and gun-related crimes.

People are simply ignorant. The pastor of my church on West Marshall Street is daily picking upRead More empty snack bags, soda cans, and trash that either walkers drop, or motorists throw. We tried to get a trash can, and the borough refused.

Mary Ellen, if you would like to share a neighborhood for The Norristown Project to clean, bringRead More pictures of the area when you come to the Moore Street cleanup. Our volunteers pitch ideas for future cleanups which is how we decided on Moore Street. Maybe Kohn or Main will be a project in July. The possibilities are endless as long as we have volunteers coming out and pitching these ideas.

Dang! I wish I read this when it was posted. I would have loved this opportunity! I know a girl atRead More NAHS who just started a club called F.L.O. (For Ladies Only). The discuss fashion, beauty, etc. If they knew about this they could have fund raised to be apart of this. Being that its one month away, I doubt $750 will be just lying around. I hope Harcum will offer this next summer as well, it's a great school and a wonderful opportunity to get the skills needed to survive in the Fashion Merchandising realm of College.
