A man recently freed from prison in Alabama is accused of abducting a woman whose dramatic escape from her car trunk was captured on video. Birmingham police announced Wednesday night that 28-year-old Manuel Ali Towns has been charged with kidnapping and robbery in the abduction of 25-year-old Brittany Diggs earlier this month. Authorities say Towns abducted Diggs and made her drive around before putting her in the car trunk. Surveillance cameras at a gas station convenience store captured images of her tumbling from the trunk. Al.com ( http://bit.ly/2nqZEFZ ) reports that records show Towns was freed from prison in January after serving more than five years for marijuana possession.
