MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A southern Oregon man faces a new federal charge accusing him of forcing a man across state lines for ransom last year. The Mail Tribune reports the kidnapping later sparked a Northern California police chase in which a Red Bluff police officer held onto the side of a moving vehicle until the suspect pulled over. David Brian Scott was charged Monday in U.S. District Court in Oregon with kidnapping. An affidavit filed by an FBI special agent based in Portland says Scott is accused of forcing a 30-year-old man to travel across state lines in an attempt to collect a disputed $25,000 debt.
