Four charged in kidnapping, torture over $520 debt

Authorities say the cousins went to the man's home in St. Charles and forced him at gunpoint into a vehicle, bound him with duct tape and drove him to another home. There, police say, he was thrown into the basement, bound with more tape and beaten with the butt of a gun.

The victim also said he was tortured with a multi-needle medical device that cut into his chest. The victim said he escaped when the four men left to go to a bar.
