Two men are in custody Sunday after police said they got rough trying to collect a debt from a 16-year-old North Side boy.

Troy Quinn, 25, and Franklin Fulton, 22, both of Spokane, are facing kidnapping, burglary and assault charges, authorities said.

The boy told police two men broke into his West Gardner home at 6 p.m. Saturday. One man wore a black gorilla mask; the other had a black T-shirt tied around the lower half of his face and was carrying a rifle wrapped in a towel.

They took the boy to the masked man’s house, where they kicked and hit him, demanding money they claimed was owed, police said.

The men then took him to telephone booth on the corner of Northwest Boulevard and Shannon, and ordered the youth to call his mother and tell her about the debt. The boy escaped by running to a nearby fast-food restaurant, where he called police.

Further details about the boy’s alleged debt were not available.
