FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Port Charlotte man accused of attempting to kidnap a woman while she was running in a park was found guilty Thursday.
25-year-old Victor Brown Jr. was sentenced to 8 years in prison followed by 10 years probation for false imprisonment.
Charlotte County Sheriff's deputies say the incident happened on November 07, 2019. They say a man wearing a ski mask forced a woman into the woods near Ollie Park, and during a scuffle, his blood got on her shirt.
The blood was analyzed and linked to Brown through a CODIS hit.
Detectives also discovered Brown was living approximately fifteen hundred feet away from where the incident happened.
