Police believe Turley and another man set up a meeting with a couple trying to rent out their house, then tied them up and robbed them.

They say Turley is suspected of using one of the victim's ATM card at a Tulsa bank. Police released surveillance photos which allegedly show him withdrawing money from the ATM.

When questioned, police said in the arrest report, Turley denied being involved in the robbery. After looking at the surveillance photos, police said Turley said that was a close friend and not him.

Police say the second man involved in the robbery and kidnapping has yet to be identified.
