Rodger Corbett And Kevin Pedersen Arrest Details
Corbett and Pedersen Arrested, Accused Of Kidnapping. “An Orange County Grand Jury indictment charges Rodger Corbett, 49, of Corona and Kevin Pedersen, 34, of Fullerton with felony counts of kidnapping and false imprisonment along with enhancements for being armed with firearms, according to a California Department of Insurance statement released Monday. According to the insurance agency, the investigation into Corbett and Pedersen began after a video of the former law enforcement officers trying to find someone who missed a court appearance was posted on social media. The video — which apparently misidentified the two men as undercover officers — allegedly showed them operating as bounty hunters without having completed the legal requirements to work in the bail fugitive recovery industry, according to the insurance department.” [Mercury News]
