Bizarre  kidnapping plot connected to Trailer Court Justice show

A TV show, Trailer Court Justice, a rented RV at the Clearwater
Police impound lot, and an investment ruse are part of an alleged
kidnap plot.

Two men from California, Edwin Hill and Fred Jung
ended up in the Pinellas jail and third California man is the apparent
victim. Jung, who is the producer of the show Trailer Park Justice and
Hill apparently were involved in a business deal with the victim Rick
St. George. Sources say somewhere between $500,000 and 2 million
dollars is missing from the investment.

Clearwater Police
Spokesperson Beth Watts says the two men had been trying to contact St.
George about the money but had been unsuccessful.

Watts says
they came up with a plan to bring St George to Florida. St George, who
also has a home and office in the Sarasota area, was going to do a
financial presentation. Police say they are still looking for woman who
lured St George to the Sand Pearl Hotel in Clearwater posing as a
wealthy investor and who was interested in the presentation.

But Police reports say instead of the financial presentation at the hotel,
the woman said they needed to go to another location to meet with other
investors. According to Police, instead of going to the other location,
the woman drove St. George to the Clearwater Memorial Causeway.

Police say Hill and Jung then jumped out of the RV and tried to force St.
George inside. St George was able to fight the men off and he was able
to get away. The victim flagged down a nearby Clearwater Police officer
and the two men in the RV were arrested a short time later on South
Missouri Avenue.

Apparently the woman known as Bailiff Tammie on
the Trailer Park Justice show is the connection between the victim St
George and Jung. Sources say Bailiff Tammie, actress Tammie Sheffield,
is married to the victim.

In the meantime the men who were released on bond say the entire incident was blown out of proportion; however during a police interview they admitted they lured the victim to Florida under a false financial deal. The men also admitted they had an accomplice lure the victim to the RV under a false pretense. They deny though they used force.

St. George flew back to California Friday morning. He was scheduled to meet with Beverly Hills Police late Friday afternoon.
