KY man & 2 children robbed in alleyway

Antonio D. Jackson was parked in an alleyway on 23rd in Paducah on Monday with 2 young children in his care when a group of armed men in matching uniforms approached his vehicle and began asking a series of intrusive questions. The men looted Jacksons vehicle and took possession of the $1,700 cash and 2 pounds of cannabis as well as the vehicle.

Jackson was taken to the McCracken County detention center and is being held for an undisclosed ransom. The captors released the children into the custody of their grandmother.

The assailants have been identified as members of the Paducah Police Department.
