WILDWOOD, Mo. — A Ballwin man faces multiple charges following a week-long incident in Wildwood. Cejay Young, 31, is charged with kidnapping, assault, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, robbery, and burglary. He is being held without bond.
The probable cause statement alleges that on September 12, Young entered the victim’s Wildwood residence through an acquaintance. The next day, the victim noticed missing cash and credit cards.
Young reportedly began attacking the victim, threatening him with a handgun, and locking him in the bathroom. Over the next week, Young allegedly brought others to steal the victim’s belongings, including guns, and destroyed property. He assaulted the victim daily, forced him to take unknown pills, and prevented him from contacting police.
