Trial begins for Cell Tech robbery and kidnapping suspects

Posted: Updated:
Huntsville, AL -

Christopher Russell and Nakia Jolly will stand trial Monday in Huntsville.

Police said the pair robbed the Cell Tech store on University Drive and kidnapped the people inside in 2010.

Investigators said Russell and Jolly walked into the store looking for cash, then held the owner, his 7-year-old son and an employee hostage.

Police said Russell and Jolly forced all three of the victims into a car before heading to the owner's home in Madison and demanded more money upon arriving. They left the owner at his home, but took his son and employee away and eventually dropped them off on Julia street, just around the corner from the Cell Tech store.

Russell and Jolly could face anywhere from 10 to 99 years behind bars.
