HAWTHORNE, Fla. -- Four people arrested for holding a 12-year-old against his will and forcing him to drink urine at a Boy Scout camp have been dismissed from the scouting program, an official said Monday.
Jack Sears, district executive and CEO of North Florida Boy Scouts, said that officials are "gravely disappointed" and that the actions do not represent the values of scouting.
Kidnapping charges were filed Friday against 21-year-old Wendell Reid and three juveniles, two who are 16 and one who is 15. The juveniles were turned over to the Florida Department of Justice. Jail records do not show if Reid has an attorney. He's being held without bond in the Putnam County Jail.
Reid was attending Camp Shands as one of the adults from Ocala, Sears said.
