Jackson then began assaulting Brashears and Page while telling them they would either pay him back for the items he thought they stole or they would be killed.
Brashears was struck in the head with an ashtray and Page was also hit in the head with a blunt object, the report said. Brashears required stitches for his head trauma, while Page required staples.

Brashears was able to make a phone call and get the person on the other end of the line to call the police.
After making the phone call, Brashears and Page made a run for it and were able to escape, the report said.
Police found them in the 600 block of Wilmington Ave.
Jackson is charged with two counts of felony first-degree kidnapping and two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
