According to WLTX, Sumter County sheriff's deputies arrested Emmanuel Franklin, 19, on an extortion/blackmail charge Thursday, two days after his mother received a phone call saying kidnappers would harm or kill him if she didn't leave the money in a mailbox, authorities said.
Deputies said Franklin admitted to faking the kidnapping so he could get the money, WLTX reported.
