WEST JORDAN, Utah — Three men were charged with disorderly conduct after staging a kidnapping for their YouTube channel Saturday afternoon.
Sgt. Brian Schaff with the West Jordan Police Department said they received calls of a person being kidnapped and worried for their well-being around 7000 South between Redwood Road and 2200 West around 3 p.m.
The callers noticed a man with their hands bound behind their back and a hood over their head while being carried by two other men.

All three of the men were charged with disorderly conduct without further incident.
