State police have arrested three Tompkins County residents following an abduction in the Southern Tier.
Joseph M. Howell, age 37; David C. Maycumber, age 41; and Michael P. Inman, age 46, all of Newfield were arrested for first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping.
The Class B felonies follow a months long investigation that began with an incident in February.
The trio are accused of forcibly kidnapping a victim at gunpoint while performing a robbery.
All three were arraigned in Chemung County and will answer the charges at a later date.
