Larz Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Jeremy London: My acting skills saved me from kidnappers "If I heard someone saying this, I would probably doubt it as well," Jeremy London says of his alleged abduction. STORY HIGHLIGHTS On June 10 several men pulled a gun on London and made him take drugs At the time, London was in Palm Springs visiting his estranged wife, Melissa "If I heard someone saying this, I would probably doubt it as well," London said (PEOPLE.com) -- Jeremy London's alleged abduction by three armed men who then forced him to do drugs seems like a crazy story -- and the former Party of Five star knows it. "If I heard someone saying this, I would probably doubt it as well," London, 37, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. But he insists it happened, and shares how he survived. "I was acting my way through the whole thing, telling myself, 'Just play like you are one of them,' " he says. As London tells it, on June 10 several men helped change his flat tire in Palm Springs, California, when they pulled a gun on him, drove him around for 12 hours while making him take ecstasy and smoke meth -- then stole his car. A 26-year-old man has been arrested in the case. At the time, London was in Palm Springs visiting his estranged wife, Melissa Cunningham, 39, and the couple's 3-year-old son, Lyrik. As part of his fight to regain partial custody of Lyrik, the actor -- a recovering addict -- says he's been sober since last September and has been undergoing regular urine tests. "I haven't tested dirty ever," he says. But London's family members doubt his story. "After hearing Jeremy's account of his alleged ordeal, it only brings up a million more questions about what really happened," his twin brother Jason tells PEOPLE. so he does x and meth, realizes he's going to test dirty, and ditches the car and calls the cops I don't know if this is funny or sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I've seen this many times. . Really? I'm a cop too, and i've heard some whoppers from addicts, but honestly I don't think I've ever seen this one. On a side note, I did once have a convicted sex offender alcoholic tell me, as I stopped him in a playground, that I should keep ducking because a polar bear sitting in a lifeguard's chair kept throwing balls of light at him. He dried out in County. DT's are a bitch, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Jet Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 What bad luck. This poor guy is visiting his ex wife, desperately trying to prove to her that he is a changed man, so that he can get partial custody of his kid. And then some thugs kidnap him and force him to do drugs. Man, I feel so bad for him. [/end sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once, when I was trying to make up with my wife for missing our anniversary, I was kidnapped by a Swedish sorority on a sex and Jonny Walker fueled rampage. the details are horrible and will be burned into my memory for life. All those naked writhing rapists holding chilled glasses of Johnny Black and telling me how big I am...it was a nightmare. I'll um, be right back.

NJ Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 He's not even a good liar. Now, if the story would have included a trip to the gentleman's club and after that rounding up 4 or 5 whores to party with - then we've got something decent to work with.
