Police have charged three people accused of committing a prank kidnapping on Tuesday morning in the hopes that witnesses would report it to police.

Plainfield officers were clearing the scene of a standoff on Cornell Road this morning when they received two separate reports that a woman had been bound in electrical tape and placed in the trunk of a dark Nissan with North Carolina plates.

Witnesses called police around 7 a.m. and said the kidnapping happened on South Main Street, in the Moosup Village section of Plainfield, near Cumberland Farms, and the car sped off with a female bound in the trunk. 

Within minutes, police swarmed the Moosup area and found the car at 46 Aldrich Avenue.

They also determined that the kidnapping was not actually what it appeared to be. It was a prank.

Investigators said Danny Vinal, 21, of Mortimer Road in Moosup, Mark Reasoner, 22, of North Sterling Road in Moosup, and Harley-Jane Davidson, 19, of Middle Street in Danielson, came up with the idea to bind Davidson in electrical tape, put her in the trunk of a car in front of several witnesses and speed off, all in the hopes that witnesses would call police and report a kidnapping, police said.

Vinal, Reasoner and Davidson have been charged with breach of peace in the second degree. 

They were released on $500 bonds and are scheduled to appear at the Danielson Superior Court on July 22.
