Tucson, Arizona | Published: 03.14.2008
Tucson police on Thursday arrested a fourth suspect in connection with a high-profile kidnapping case involving a former local beauty queen.
David Wayne Radde, 44, was taken into custody in connection with the 10-hour abduction and torture of a former Pima County beauty queen’s ex-boyfriend in December, according to police.
Radde was booked into Pima County jail on suspicion of one count of kidnapping, one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of robbery, according to jail records.
Three other people have already been accused of involvement in the case, including Kumari Fulbright, 25, who was a University of Arizona law student at the time of her arrest. She has since been suspended.
Fulbright ran in the Miss Arizona contest and was named Miss Pima County in 2005 and Miss Desert Sun in 2006.
She and the three men are accused of tying a 24-year-old man with plastic cable and duct tape Dec. 8 and holding him captive at two residences, one on the North Side and one in Midtown.
Court documents say the four suspects pointed pistols at the man, threatened his life and stole his wallet, cell phone, briefcase and $500 to $600 in cash.
Fulbright and Larry Hammond were arrested first and police obtained a warrant for Robert Ergonis, who was taken into custody Feb. 8 after an overnight standoff with a SWAT team at a Midtown home.
When Ergonis was arrested, police said they were still looking for one more suspect who hadn’t been identified.
The investigation pointed to Radde, an associate of Ergonis, as the final suspect in the case, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman. Surveillance officers found him at his home at in the 3600 block of South Jessica Avenue, near South Kolb and East Escalante roads, according to a Tucson Police Department news release.
Police raided his house and seized two handguns, a bullet-proof vest and more than $26,000 in suspected counterfeit currency, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
Pacheco said the money was turned over to the U.S. Secret Service. Police also seized 180 grams of cocaine, 40 grams of heroin and 5.5 grams of methamphetamine.
According to the Arizona Department of Corrections Web site Radde was in prison from April 1996 to October 1999 after his conviction for theft and a marijuana violation.
