Buffalo Grove Man Pleads Not Guilty to Kidnapping

He is accused of kidnapping his estranged girlfriend from Highland Park and taking her to Wisconsin.

A Buffalo Grove man pleaded not guilty to kidnapping his estranged girlfriend from Highland Park and driving her to Racine, WI, according to the Daily Herald.

Samuel B. Jackson, 32, is being held on $500,000 bail on the kidnapping charge, which stems from a March 2 incident when Highland Park police were called to the 400 block of Central Avenue for a report of an argument between Jackson and the victim, where he was trying to break into the car she was in. When officers arrived, the car was gone but was later found in Racine.

Jackson had previously threatened to kill the woman and throw her in the lake.
