As RadarOnline.com previously reported, London appeared at court last Friday expecting to take the stand; however, the case was continued until Tuesday so that new evidence obtained by the prosecution could be reviewed by the defense.

In court Tuesday, London was questioned by the prosecution about the night of his alleged abduction.

London explained that he had a flat tire outside of a 7-11 after going to a CVS, where he and his wife had picked up a prescription of the powerful sleeping aid Ambien.

London - who said he has sleeping problems - testified he took an Ambien on his way to his hotel where he was staying with his wife.

The Mallrats star testified that two men helped him fix the flat tire, and then asked for a ride home in return.

London told the court, "They asked me if we would give them a ride home.. They said it was very close.. These guys helped me change a tire in really hot weather, so I thought sure, I'd give them a ride home."

London said he then dropped off one of the guys, but that "Brandon Adams stayed in the car. My wife demanded to be taken home, so we took her home.."

The actor said he drove Adams around, referring to it as "a ( wild) goose chase.. we just weren't getting to a location...

"I was scared... I was starting to shake...It was getting bizarre."

London testified they then pulled up in front of an abandoned house and stopped the car when Adams saw two of his friends. London said the two men got in his car.

London said one of the guys in the passenger seat reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun and put it to his (London's) head.

"..It was not a revolver.. It was a square gun."

London told the court, "If I didn't give him my money, he would kill me... kill my wife... he knew I had a kid... he knew where i lived."

London said he had $200 in his wallet and another $600 in cash in an envelope in his car.

He says the men then ordered him to get into the car's trunk.

"I was in survival mode", he said.

London said they drove him around, and then eventually let him out of the car.

"Brandon asked me to buy him a beer.. so I did", London testified.

"I was scared, but i didn't want them to think I was scared.. I thought I was never going to see my son."

Jeremy said they went to a local liquor store called Julians, where they purchased $300 worth of liquor with one of the men called "Little N" standing by him.

London said they went back to the same liquor store two more times to buy more alcohol after they gave away some of the liquor to Brandon's friends.

He said the third and final time they went back to Julians, he purchased a case of beer and put $13 on his credit card.

London then testified that they went to buy drugs with his money.

He said "Little N" threw a pill at him (he said the pill was Ecstasy) and made him take it, saying "he had a gun to my head".

London - who admitted he had taken Ecstasy a long time ago - said he didn't want to take the drug, but that he knew he had to  "go along.. get along".

London also testified they bought more pills and that he (one of the men in the car) "threw a big white pill at me.. and I took it since he had a gun to my head".

London also testified he also smoked something in a pipe, which made him feel "like a horse kicked me in the head".

The trial continues at this hour with the defense presenting its case.

Jeremy London Expected To Testify In Alleged Kidnapping Case


Posted on Oct 07, 2010 @ 03:41PM - Add a comment

Jeremy London is expected to take the stand Friday at a preliminary hearing connected to his alleged kidnapping case, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The hearing for Brandon Adams, one of the men accused of kidnapping London and allegedly forcing him to do drugs back in June, will take place in an Indio, California, courtroom.

Jeremy London is expected to take the stand Friday at a preliminary hearing connected to his alleged kidnapping case, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The hearing for Brandon Adams, one of the men accused of kidnapping London and allegedly forcing him to do drugs back in June, will take place in an Indio, California, courtroom.

A rep for the Riverside County District Attorney’s office told RadarOnline.com exclusively, “The preliminary hearing will move forward and we expect Mr. London to testify at that hearing.”

Of the three men London claims kidnapped him and held him hostage for five hours, Palm Springs Police have only arrested 26-year-old Adams, who remains in custody on $500,000 bail.

London told Palm Springs Police that he was minding his own business on the afternoon of June 10, when three men, including Adams, offered to help him change a flat tire.

But in an exclusive jailhouse interview with RadarOnline.com, Adams painted a different picture of the incident, saying that he, two other men and London went on a consensual drug and alcohol induced “joyride for hours” in Palm Springs.

“There was no gun. There was never a pipe," Adams told RadarOnline.com. "We got drunk and I hooked him up with some Ecstasy and Xanax and we took a joyride and partied for hours."

Adams said he later dropped London off near a Radisson Inn.

Adams told RadarOnline.com that while he did help London and his wife Melissa with their flat, the rest of the troubled actor's story is completely fabricated.

"My uncle and I and another guy went up and asked them if they needed help with the flat," Adams said. "We helped them change it and asked if they could give us a ride home. And Jeremy said yes."

Adams continues, "As soon as we got in the car, Jeremy asked us if we could get him five Xanax and five Oxycontin. Melissa was asking for Xanax too. I told him I could hook him up but that I wanted a couple of beers. He agreed.

"Jeremy wanted to drink, so we bought beer and some hard alcohol and we got f****d up," Adams said. "Jeremy was just drinking beer but we were wasted. We went driving around my neighborhood, handing out beer to my friends and random people on the street. We were having a good time."

After a while, Adams says London's mood suddenly changed and the actor became erratic and irritated. Adams says London started telling him to “get him pills.”

"I hadn't been able to get any Xanax or Oxycontin up to that point, but I was finally able to get him three Ecstasy and three Xanax pills. He took all six pills at once. He was out of his mind high," Adams told RadarOnline.com.

Adams' confession blows a gaping hole in London's kidnapping story. London has adamantly stuck to his story, even telling RadarOnline.com in an exclusive video interview that he feared he was going to die at the hands of Adams and the two other suspects when they made him smoke illicit drugs.

PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Battled Drinking Problems

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, both London and Melissa have been to rehab for pill addictions and have lost custody of their 3-year-old son Lyrik as a result. They both must undergo random drug testing as part of their custody battle.

Regarding allegations of London's drug use, a rep for the actor sent this statement to RadarOnline.com, "Jeremy London has consistently passed all random drug testing administered by the State of California. Enough said!"

London, who says he was taken hostage by three men and forced to smoke drugs and drink back in June, will appear at a preliminary hearing in Indio, Calif., on Sept. 29.

Adams has been in custody on $500,000 bail since his arrest in June.

He will face off with London for the first time since the incident. London's attorney told RadarOnline.com exclusively, "This is finally the first opportunity for the truth to come out in public and Jeremy is looking forward to that day."

London’s rep, Dominic Friesen, told RadarOnline.com: "The upcoming Preliminary Hearing will be the first opportunity for the complete truth regarding Jeremy London's horrific kidnapping ordeal to be made public. Understandably, it is a daily struggle for him to put the experience behind him, but this promises to be just one of many much needed steps in the pursuit of justice and overall closure. He is truly grateful for the overwhelming support received from fans around the world, and requests privacy for his friends and family during this difficult time."

In an exclusive jailhouse interview with RadarOnline.com, Adams, 26, denied kidnapping London and forcing him to smoke anything, saying instead that the two went on a consensual alcohol and drug induced "joyride" for hours on the night of June 10 in Palms Springs and that London asked him to "score him pills."

"There was no gun, there was never a pipe," Adams told RadarOnline.com. "We got drunk and I hooked him up with Ecstasy and Xanax and we took a joyride and partied for hours."

Recently, London's estranged wife, Melissa, told RadarOnline.com that she thinks London made the whole story up. She was in the car briefly with her husband and Adams but asked to be dropped off at the couple's home.

"I believe it was a drug deal gone bad," she told RadarOnline.com.
