A Griffin man who was kidnapped at gunpoint in Fayetteville June 18 testified today that he was afraid for his life when he was forced into a car trunk by his two captors.

Joshua Askew, 27, said he had just exited the Village Market convenience store when a black man approached him and pointed a gun at his head.

"I told him, 'Whatever you want, it's yours,'" Askew said Wednesday in the trial of two men accused of committing the crime.

Askew said his hands immediately went in the air when he saw the gun.

"He said, 'If you turn around I'll kill you,'" Askew recalled.

Askew identified the gunman in court as Travion Marquez Willis, 17, of College Park.

Askew said he couldn't identify the other man who took his cell phone from his hip before he was instructed to get in the trunk of a car and hand the keys to his Chevy Tahoe to one of the assailants.

Willis and Christopher Deangelo Wakefield of Riverdale are charged with armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and theft by taking (motor vehicle).

Wakefield was tied to the case by the cash that was found on him when he was arrested. Askew, who services amusement machines such as video poker games, said he recognized his handwriting on two of the bills that police found in Wakefield's possession during his arrest.

Askew explained to the jury that he would remove cash from machines at a store and when he counted the cash he would write the total on the top bill with an ink pen.

Earlier in the trial Fayetteville police officer Mike Whitlow testified that Willis indicated during an interview that he got the gun from Wakefield, whom he alleged also participated in the robbery. Willis positively identified Wakefield in a photograph, Whitlow said.

Askew testified how he escaped by using the emergency trunk release after the car crashed into his Tahoe shortly after the suspects drove away from the convenience store. He exited the trunk and got into a nearby car, urging the female driver to pursue the suspects as they sped away.

Willis was arrested near Corinth Road after the vehicles had been ditched nearby on Pine Trail Road off Ga. Highway 85 near the Fayette Pavilion, deputies said.
