A former Ole Miss and NFL football player has been arrested in Mississippi on kidnapping charges.

Jerrell Powe, 35, remained jailed Monday in the Jackson suburb of Ridgeland with no bail set. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer to speak for him.

Ridgeland Police Chief Brian Myers told WLBT-TV that Powe and another person, 35-year-old Gavin Bates of Roseville, California, were arrested Jan. 12 at a bank in the city.

Investigators said the victim was part of Powe’s investment in a marijuana-growing operation. Police said Powe is accused of forcing the man to go to the Chase Bank in Ridgeland to return the money he and others had invested in that operation.

“It probably has something to do with self-help, but you can’t break the law and engage in kidnapping to collect a debt,” said Ridgeland prosecutor Boty McDonald.

The Ridgeland Police Department said in a news release obtained by Fox News Digital on Monday that officers responded to a Chase Bank at around 1:40 p.m. local time in reference to a report of someone being held against their will.

Responding officers made contact with the victim upon arrival and he told authorities he was kidnapped in Laurel and was forced to take out money.

Police said the victim identified the suspects as Powe and Gavin Bates. Both men were arrested on the scene and were charged with one count of kidnapping.

Powe played college football at Ole Miss from 2008-2010 and He was on the Rebels’ teams that won the Cotton Bowl in 2008 and 2009.

He finished sixth in the SEC in tackles for loss in 2009 and finished his collegiate career with 69 total tackles, seven sacks and an interception in 37 games.

He was Second Team All-SEC in 2009 and 2010. The Chiefs selected Powe in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
