DRUG DEBTS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH

British man owed drug dealers $150,000, had one ear, two fingers and three toes chopped off with bolt cutters while nailed to a piece of wood for 13 days

According to the Daily Mail, James Ross, 28, of Wick, Scotland owed some British drug dealers nearly $150,000. They lured him to Portugal where six members of the drug gang kidnapped and tortured him for 13 days. He was stripped naked and nailed to a piece of wood during his ordeal. The kidnappers used bolt cutters to chop off one of the victim’s ears, two fingers and three toes. He was also burned with a cigarette lighter and beaten with a baseball bat. Ross was released by one of his kidnappers after several of his crime partners had been arrested by Portuguese authorities.

The six kidnappers were given prison terms by a Portuguese court, the sentences ranging from 2-1/2 years to 25 years.

Getting nailed to a piece of wood and having an ear, some fingers and toes chopped off with bolt cutters must have caused a shitload of hurt. And getting burned with a cigarette lighter and beaten with a baseball bat had to be an additional painful lesson on the importance of paying your friendly drug dealers what you owe them.

The moral of this story is, do not get involved with drugs, but if you do, be sure to pay off your drug debts since failure to do so could be dangerous to your health.
