Bedford Man Pleads Guilty To Concord Kidnapping
The kidnapping starting in Concord and ended in Connecticut.
BEDFORD, MA — A Bedford man pleaded guilty on Tuesday in connection to a kidnapping that started in Concord and ended in Connecticut, according to the office of the Department of Justice. Julian Field, 24, will be sentenced on March 3.
In February 2019 Field broke into a Concord resident's home and forced them to drive him to a train station in Connecticut, the DOJ said. On the way to the station, Field made the victim stop in Springfield, MA and tried to pick up illegal drugs.
He eventually let the victim go — authorities tracked Field to Key West, FL, where he was arrested.
