A teenage boy seen donning a MAGA hat allegedly went so far as shooting himself in the leg to further his kidnapping that he fabricated.
Caden Speight, 17, texted his family that he had been abducted by ‘four Hispanic men’ in a van after a shooting last week on SW Highway 484 in Dunnellon, Florida, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
An Amber Alert was sent out on Thursday for the 6-foot-tall teen. He was last seen wearing a MAGA hat, according to local news outlets.
Speight’s sister, Bailey Speight Clark, put out a plea for help on Facebook. ‘God I just want him home. I can’t sleep eat or do anything not knowing where he is and if he is safe. Please don’t stop searching or looking,’ she wrote.
‘There is still little to no information on what happened or where he could be.
