Three recount being held overnight

Three people told a judge Friday they were held overnight at gunpoint by two men who took their phones and forced them to undress before another hostage eventually escaped and alerted police.

One of the witnesses fidgeted as he described being told to smoke meth and strip down to his boxers. Tyler Baker said he feared for his life and thought he was going to be killed “execution style.”

“I had a gun basically pointed at me the whole time,” Baker testified during a preliminary hearing for Tremaine Ham mon sand Taylor Whitaker.

Ham mons ,22, and Whitaker, 24, are charged with 12 felonies, including five counts each of robbery with a firearm and kidnapping.

Oklahoma County prosecutors allege the two men confined Baker, Tacy Davis, Sammie Hyatt, Matthew Machen and Brittany Rooney for several hours between May 29 and May 30 inside a home in the 8300 block of South Brookline Avenue. A police tactical team descended on the residence the next morning after Rooney escaped.

Asked why they were being held hostage, Hyatt said Whitaker was missing a handgun and three safe sand“he thought Brittany did it.”

Baker, Davis said Hyatt admitted using drugs, including me th and heroin, during their confinement. Hyatt said the assailants forced her to smoke meth.

“They had a gun pointed at us,” she testified. Davis said he was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash, which he said was missing when he was allowed to put his clothes back on.

The hearing was continued because Rooney and Ma chen couldn' t testify Friday.
