(Aliquippa, PA) A couple is now in jail after police say they kidnapped a woman and threatened to have her killed. The incident began in Aliquippa on Monday afternoon and went as far as the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh. According to police, Ariel Harper and her boyfriend Tyrone Turner showed up at the victim’s house and forced her into a car at gunpoint. The duo accused the woman of stealing money from them. Police paperwork states that the victim actually rented that car for Harper and Turner and knew them through her job. Police confirm that the couple drove the victim to Pittsburgh. Turner allegedly told her they were going to “meet my people and I am going to pay them to kill you.” The car stopped eventually at a red light that was close to the Zone 3 police station of Pittsburgh. The victim jumped out of the car to find help and Pittsburgh Police drove her back to Beaver County. Harper and Turner were arrested in Aliquippa at their Linmar Terrace home without incident and are in the Beaver County Jail with a number of charges which include robbery and kidnapping.
