A YouTube star from Texas who fled to Qatar while facing aggravated kidnapping charges for abducting two women and taking them on a wild, high-speed car ride is back in the states and behind bars, according to prosecutors.
Corey Pritchett Jr., 26, of Houston, is accused of threatening the two victims with a gun — allegedly praying with them at one point — before dumping the pair off on the shoulder of the highway and telling them, “This is your only opportunity.”
The popular YouTuber fled to Qatar after the Nov. 24 kidnapping incident, according to his criminal complaint, which was obtained by Law&Crime earlier this month. The victims were found by deputies with the Waller County Sheriff’s Office near a weigh station off Interstate 10 in the Brookshire area after a local resident saw the women walking on the side of the road and called 911.
