SHOCKING: 4 men charged to court for kidnapping man, torturing him and running away with his penis (PICTURED)

Kyle Handley, one of four people charged with kidnapping
a California marijuana dispensary owner, torturing him
with a blowtorch and cutting off his penis during a
robbery. Ryan Anthony Kevorkian, 34, Naomi Josette
Kevorkian, 33, and 34-year-old Hossein Nayeri were also
arrested.

Four people were charged with kidnapping a California
marijuana dispensary owner, torturing him with a
blowtorch and cutting off his penis during a robbery
because they thought he was burying piles of cash in the
desert, authorities said Friday.

Ryan Anthony Kevorkian, 34, and Naomi Josette
Kevorkian, 33, were arrested Friday in Fresno, a day after
the FBI arrested 34-year-old Hossein Nayeri in Prague in
the Czech Republic, Orange County authorities said in a
statement.

Nayeri was expected to face extradition proceedings.
Another man, Kyle Shirakawa Handley, 34, was arrested
in October of last year.

The four have been charged with kidnapping for ransom,
aggravated mayhem, torture, burglary and a sentencing
enhancement for inflicting great bodily injury. They were
being held without bail and could face up to life in prison
without possibility of parole if convicted, prosecutors said.
It was not immediately known whether the Kevorkians and
Nayeri had obtained lawyers.

Prosecutors said the victim was a prosperous medical
marijuana dispensary owner who took some of his pot
suppliers — including Handley — to Las Vegas last year
for an extravagant weekend.

Handley pleaded not guilty to the charges last month.

"It is my hope that by bringing to justice these three
additional people it will become clear that Mr. Handley
was not involved in this demonic criminal enterprise,"
Robert K. Weinberg, Handley's attorney, said Friday.
Prosecutors said the victim was a prosperous medical
marijuana dispensary owner who took some of his pot
suppliers — including Handley — to Las Vegas last year
for an extravagant weekend.

After the trip, Handley told some friends that the
dispensary owner was extremely wealthy and they came
up with a plan to kidnap and rob him, according to a
statement from the county district attorney's office and
Newport Beach police.

Four weeks before the kidnapping, the would-be robbers
began shadowing the dispensary owner, following him on
frequent trips he made to the desert outside of Palm
Springs.

He went out to discuss a possible investment deal, but the
four wrongly believed he was driving there "to bury large
amounts of cash," according to the statement.

The victim and his roommate's girlfriend were kidnapped
and driven out to a spot in the desert, such as this one,
where the suspects believed the cash was hidden. There
they cut off the man's penis, poured bleach on him, and
dumped him and woman on the side of the road.

Throughout the drive, they allegedly burned the dispensary
owner with a blowtorch.

At the spot where the men believed the victim had hidden
his money, they cut off his penis, poured bleach on him in
an effort to destroy any DNA evidence and dumped him
and the woman on the side of the road, authorities alleged.
The three men then drove away with the penis so that it
couldn't be reattached, authorities claimed.

"The woman ran over a mile to a main road in the dark,
while still bound with zip ties, and flagged down a police
car," according to the statement.

The man survived his injuries.

After the crime, Nayeri fled to Iran, where he remained for
several months, prosecutors said. He was arrested in
Prague while changing flights from Iran to Spain to visit
family, authorities said.
