AMHERST, Ohio -- Three Amherst teenagers are accused of holding a 10-year-old Elyria boy against his will. The teens were charged Wednesday with kidnapping and aggravated menacing, which police said is threatening someone's life. The case started when the boy was at his grandmother's home and went next door to play video games with the teens. Police said the teens stopped playing the games and started a real-life drama with real weapons. Officers said the teens hog-tied the child with a telephone cord and threatened him with a shotgun and a bow and arrow. The boy finally broke loose and ran from the house. The grandmother of the fourth-grade honor roll student said he's having trouble sleeping since Monday's attack. The teenagers denied all of the charges in court Wednesday. Two of the teens, ages 15 and 17 remain locked up. A 16-year-old was released, but must wear an electronic ankle bracelet until the next court hearing.
