A Davie man who police say sells drugs is accused of locking another man in a storage unit for months over money that was owed for crack and fentanyl, according to an arrest report.
Oscar Moses Badger, 39, has been in Broward County’s main jail in Fort Lauderdale without bond since March 3 on a charge of felony kidnapping.
Police were called to Access Self Storage at 7000 Southwest 22nd Court on March 1 after an employee reported hearing a man inside a unit screaming and asking for medical attention, according to the report.
Davie Fire Rescue cut the lock and discovered the 58-year-old man inside, along with several five-gallon buckets filled with the man’s urine and feces, the report states.
The man told detectives that his drug dealer, known to him as “Tray,” locked him in the unit in November. Police say Badger is Tray.
Detectives watched security-camera footage that showed Badger drive to the storage facility in a Honda Accord, get out with a bag of food and place it in the unit, according to the report.
The victim told police that he recently became homeless and addicted to crack cocaine and fentanyl. The man said Badger would supply him with drugs and hotel rooms, and the man would pay Badger once his Veteran’s Administration monthly $7,000 check reached his bank account, the report states.
In November, the man owed Badger $3,000, he told detectives. Another man he associates with told Badger the victim was not going to pay the debt, according to the report.
Badger had another man and a woman take the victim to their apartment, where he told detectives he was beaten. He escaped when the man was taking a shower, the report states.
He then called Badger to buy more drugs, and this is when he was kidnapped, he told detectives, according to the report. While he was locked in the unit, Badger took his bank and VA cards and would also take the man to the bank to withdraw money, according to the report.
