Possible Kidnapping of Lawler Man

Waterloo Police are investigating a possible kidnapping, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. A Lawler man says he was at the Kwik Star in New Hampton around 1:00 a.m. Monday morning when a man forced him to give him a ride to Waterloo. The 62 year old Lawler man told police he thought the man had a gun but never saw any weapons. He says he dropped the man off at an apartment complex at 1820 E Ridgeway Ave where he was then assaulted. The victim called 911 from that location. His injuries are not thought to be serious.
