Police say Illinois man kidnapped from Billings hotel

BILLINGS — Police are searching for two armed suspects who purported to be FBI agents when they allegedly kidnapped an Illinois man from a Montana hotel room.

Police in Billings said Friday that 29-year-old Dejuan Laster is missing after two men showed up at the Extended Stay hotel where Laster was staying with an unidentified woman.

After brandishing handguns and claiming to be federal agents, police say the suspects zip-tied the woman and questioned her extensively about Laster before releasing her.

Laster has not been seen since Thursday.

Both suspects are described as Hispanic males in their 30s, driving a white Suburban and a green four-door car.

Billings Police spokesman Lt. Kevin Iffland says the relationship between the suspect and the victims is unknown. Laster's hometown was unavailable.
