A text message played a role in a man's escape from two kidnapping suspects. The suspects allegedly kidnapped the man at gunpoint, intending to steal his money. Two people, Levi Smith and Jose Valencia, were arrested in connection with the incident.

The victim, a 20-year-old man, was found at a Walmart store. He told officers he was forced to drive around the area to withdraw money from his account. The suspects initially approached him near a convenience store, asking for money, before jumping into his car and holding him at gunpoint.

Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the events leading up to the arrests of Smith and Valencia.
