This is a strange story, and my bullsh-t meter is currently going crazy. Allegedly, Jeremy London was abducted by two men and forcibly taken – at gunpoint – to ride around in his own car. London claims that he was forced to “smoke dope” and “purchase booze” for his kidnappers. London claims he was able to escape after several hours, and he went to the police. The two men were arrested. Very… weird. Here’s the full story:

Armed bandits abducted and robbed Party of Five star Jeremy London and forced him to smoke drugs during a harrowing five hour ordeal in Palm Springs, California, police have revealed to RadarOnline.com. London, 37, was attempting to change a flat tire on his vehicle when two men stopped to help him, outside the Bahama Hotel & Apartments on North Palm Canyon Drive, late on the evening of Thursday, June 10.

Sergeant Steve Douglas, from Palm Springs Police Department, told RadarOnline.com the kidnappers forcibly took London — who played Griffin Holbrook on the hit FOX series Party of Five and Chandler Hampton on 7th Heaven — and drove him around in his own vehicle, while terrorizing him at gun point. The suspects had a small hand gun, police said.

Somehow a stunned London managed to escape at around 3 o’clock the next morning, the officer added.

“He told officers (during the kidnapping) that he was forced to smoke dope and then purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs,” Sergeant Douglas told RadarOnline.com, in an exclusive interview.

Sergeant Douglas said London was forced to smoke “dope” — crack cocaine or amphetamines. London’s car was later found in a notorious neighborhood of Palm Springs where one of the kidnappers lived. Two men were charged Wednesday over the dramatic incident, police said.

“By chance, an officer saw the man and two subjects and thought, ‘That’s nice of them, to stop and help someone change their tire,'” said Sergeant Douglas. “That helped one of our officers to be able to identify the suspects later on.”

The kidnapping came after a torrid period for the actor, who has admitted to a drug abuse problem. In April, London told People he went to a rehabilitation center, last September, to face his battle with prescription pills.

“There were times I didn’t care if I died,” he said. “I felt like I was losing everything.”

London was arrested in the spring of 2004 for allegedly driving with a suspended license and for carrying controlled substances. He is currently going through a divorce from actress Melissa Cunningham, whom he married in September 2006. The couple has a son, Lyrik, 3.

“Jeremy said it was a terrorizing experience,” a source close to the Hollywood actor told RadarOnline.com, of the dramatic kidnapping incident. “He spent hours thinking he was going to die and he did what he had to do not to end up shot or dead.”

Could London be telling the truth? Maybe, sure. The story is so bizarre, it’s totally possible there’s some truth to it. But does anyone else think that there could be something else going on? I mean the guy is a recovering drug addict going through a divorce, and he’s probably facing a custody battle for his son. Does anyone else think this might just be an excuse to get f-cked up? I know that writing that makes me a bad person. Some killers/rapists/bad people purposely do random and bizarre things so that is and when their victims tell their stories, no one will believe them. And maybe Jeremy’s story checked out and I’m a bitch. Who knows.

UPDATE: Radar has new details on Jeremy London’s ordeal. The dude who was arrested is named Brandon Adams and he was “booked on multiple charges including kidnapping, possession of stolen property and vehicle theft.” A police source told Radar: “Enhancements for the use of a firearm during the commission of a felony have been added.” Let’s see, what else? Oh, Jeremy was changing his tire when these two dudes came by to “help” him. Jeremy offered them a ride home, and that’s when he was kidnapped. Basically, it just sounds like the cops really do believe Jeremy’s story, and they’ve found the guys who “kidnapped” him.
