Armed man allegedly abducted computer technician, planned to hold him captive until computer got fixed
As tempting as it might be, it is in fact illegal to trap a computer technician inside your home and refuse to allow him to leave until your computer gets fixed. The law, however, did not deter one Arlington, Virginia man who was arrested and charged with abduction on Monday after allegedly attempting to keep a computer technician in his home "until his computer was fixed." Joseph Nestor Mondello, 50, "allegedly had a gun in his possession," according to police, and threatened to kill the technician if his computer problems weren't resolved.
The Washington Post reports that it was not immediately clear what the computer problem was.
