Former Eagles player kidnapped by gunmen in North Carolina

Former Eagles safety Earl Wolff was kipnapped and robbed and later released by a group of armed men while visiting friends in his hometown in North Carolina on Feb. 23.

According to The Fayetteville Observer, Wolff was walking to his white, 2011 Range Rover in the early morning hours of Feb. 23 when he was attacked by a group of armed men and forced into the vehicle.

While police received a report of the incident around 3 a.m., investigators are unsure as to how long Wolff was kidnapped, but told the newspaper "It was a short period of time" before the group dumped Wolff out about 8 miles south of the city.
