Three men accused of kidnapping and robbing women they met at a casino will stand trial in September.

Cedric Akiti, 24, 5416 Mimosa Drive, Jackson, Felix Howard, 29, 825 Boston Road, Pearl; and Perry McAbee, 23, 1313 Florence Ave.; appeared before Circuit Court Judge Isadore Patrick Friday afternoon to be arraigned after an indictment by the Warren County grand jury for vehicle burglary, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of armed robbery.

Patrick set the trial for Sept. 16. The arraignments were made public Tuesday following the Veterans Day holiday.

The three men are accused of kidnapping two Monroe, La., women outside Waffle House, 70 Warrenton Road, at 12:45 a.m. May 13. According to the indictment, one of the men forced the women at gunpoint into a blue and silver Dodge Magnum registered to Howard.

Police said descriptions of the gunman given by the women match that of Akiti.

The men drove the women to the 4200 block of Rifle Range Road where they where they were forced to hand over their purses and cellphones, according to court records. The women were released uninjured, and when they returned to Waffle House they discovered their 2007 Chevrolet HHR had been burglarized, according to court records.

A credit card stolen from the vehicle was later used to purchase an iPod at a Walmart in Jackson, according to court records.

Akiti, Howard and McAbee were identified from casino surveillance video and arrested May 16.
