LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three suspects were accused Tuesday of capturing two individuals from a Los Angeles home and holding one of them stripped in a bath for 30 hours while requesting the other pay a $10,000 emancipate, prosecutors said.
Keith Andre Stewart, Johntae Jones, and Amber Neal were accused of hijacking, attack with a gun and other offense regarding the May 3 episode. It was not promptly evident whether they had lawyers who could remark on the claims.

Neal's capture at gunpoint by Los Angeles cops on Monday was caught on record by a spectator and had been seen in excess of 2.4 million times on Twitter. It wasn't instantly known when the others were arrested.
Prosecutors claim the trio went to Daisy McCrackin's home in South Los Angeles on May 3, where they say Stewart gun whipped a man who was in the home, Joseph Capone. The three at that point put sacks over the two casualties' heads and drove them a few miles to Jones' home in Compton, prosecutors said.
Once they were at Jones' home, the suspects forced Capone to strip naked and then held him in a bathtub for 30 hours without food, prosecutors allege.
Investigators said Jones and Neal then took McCrackin's car and drove her to several different banks while demanding she pays $10,000 for Capone's release. Eventually, she was forced to write a $10,000 check to Neal, prosecutors said.
The next day, they brought McCrackin — an actress who has appeared in several films including the horror flick Halloween: Resurrection — back to her home, where she escaped from them and called the police, authorities said.
Jones and Neil were being held on $1 million each and Steward was being held on more than $2 million bails, according to prosecutors. If convicted, they each potentially face sentences of up to life in prison.
