OTTER TAIL COUNTY, Minn. (KVRR/KFGO) — Two Pelican Rapids men have been charged with kidnapping, burglary, and robbery.

Otter Tail County prosecutors say 28-year-old Alberto Ramirez and 22-year-old Jose Blandon-Rivera were arrested for kidnapping a man and assaulting his roommate.

Pelican Rapids Police were called to a break-in at an apartment and found one victim had been assaulted.

He said that while he was asleep, three or four men had entered his apartment.

One man began punching him, while another pulled on his hooded sweatshirt, blocking his airway.

The man told police that he suspected he was attacked because his roommate stole a bottle of alcohol from a liquor store.

The complaint says the men took the bottle of liquor and a phone.
