Eric Eskew Reed, 27, of Charleston is charged with kidnapping in the Jan. incident. A criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court alleges that Brandon Staats was tied up, beaten and held at knife-point. Police are seeking Jason Roton, Christina Roton and Richard (Jim) Roton, in the case. Staats had been staying in the residence. Staats said the quartet were upset he would not tell them where a vehicle was located. Staats told police that all four suspects were high on meth at the time of the incident. The complaint alleges Reed, Jason Roton and Richard Roton beat him while Christina Roton held the knife at his throat. Staats eventually broke free and went to a neighbor's house for help. Warrants have been issued for the three remaining suspects.
