SEBRING, Fla. — A Florida man is in custody after deputies say he put another man through what can only be described as a nightmare.
Highlands County deputies released a video showing them chasing Joshua Torres through backyards in Sebring.
Deputies said Torres pulled a gun on a man who offered him a ride, hit him, forced him to strip to his underwear, pointed a gun at his head, and pulled the trigger twice.
Luckily, the gun never fired.
Hours later, deputies spotted him and made the arrest.
Torres is now facing a long list of charges, including attempted second-degree murder, armed carjacking, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, false imprisonment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
