Man says he was drugged, kidnapped, robbed of $10,000 at popular Buckhead bar

ATLANTA — A metro Atlanta man wants to warn others after he says he was drugged and robbed during a night out at a popular bar in Buckhead.

Channel 2′s Michael Seiden spoke with a Peachtree City man who says he’s grateful to be alive after being drugged, kidnapped and robbed of more than $10,000.

Chandler Rebel says he never would’ve imagined a night out with friends in 2022 could have potentially deadly consequences.

“After a few, it’s as if I completely blacked out,” Rebel said.

He says the next thing he remembered was waking up in the back of a stranger’s car.

“A figure in that car holding my mouth shut as I was trying to scream and forcing some substance down my system to keep me more knocked out,” he recalled. “Eventually, I remember waking up in a bathroom…I wake up there, I’m throwing up blood violently, rolling around on a bathroom floor.”

He says he reported the incident to police.
