VIDEO: Charlotte man arrested for kidnapping woman seen in video being held hostage as she snitches

A Charlotte resident, identified as Darryl Lamar Moffett, was recently apprehended and formally charged after a video surfaced showing him holding a woman at gunpoint while interrogating her about an alleged setup.

According to court documents obtained by  The North Carolina Beat, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested the 38-year-old on Monday, charging him with second-degree kidnapping, assault on a female, assault by pointing a gun, possession of firearm by felon and communicating threats in connection to an incident that occurred on May 18, 2024.

The victim, identified as Nyla Cochran, was listed in the police report.

A video posted three days prior to the arrest depicted Moffett, now confirmed as the individual in question, allegedly holding Cochran at gunpoint. The significance of the date of the offense lies in the fact that the video posted on May 15 could support Moffett’s recent charges. It is worth noting that the incident report may be connected to the hostage situation reported three days after the emergence of the videos at the bottom of this article.

According to a warrant affidavit report, on May 18, officers were dispatched to 1108 Oaklawn Avenue in reference to Moffett pointing a pistol at Cochran’s head when she opened the door. The report says “he [Moffett] ordered her to come with him while pointing a pistol at her head. Told her he’d kill her.”

The affidavit went on to say that the victim, Cochran, believed Moffett would shoot her or otherwise harm her. The affidavit further stated that the two walked to another street, where Moffett allegedly hit Cochran in her face and head several times.

“He put 2 hands around her neck causing her to have trouble breathing. He threatened to kill her again,” the report said.

Cochran was listed as Moffett’s girlfriend in the affidavit to obtain a warrant for Moffett’s arrest. It also stated that they did not live together or had ever lived together. Cochran was sober at the time of the incident, according to the affidavit.

In the video we posted on May 15, revealed that Cochran was tasked with setting up Moffett, but in turn, he allegedly held her hostage at gunpoint. He demanded that she disclose all the details about the setup.

Cochran also spoke about some people who were killed, with one man being named as Polo. She alleged that he was a fake Blood gang member and that he was poisoned. Cochran also named a couple of people that she played a role in poisoning and drugging individuals.

But for Moffett, she told him that drinks were supposed to have been purchased for him and that someone was going to either put fentanyl or antifreeze in his drink to poison and kill him.

‘Talk B***h’

In the video, Moffett told Cochran to start telling everything she knew as he filmed it. As she started talking about how she met Moffett, she said she was eventually kicked out of a home that she was staying at with two other girls.

She was kicked out because she refused to comply with the demands of two other girls, according to her.

“Which was what?” the man asked.

Cochran tells Moffett that he was supposed to be drugged, but she wasn’t the one who was supposed to administer the drugs. She mentioned other individuals who were tasked with carrying out the drugging. Cochran said that someone was supposed to go to the store and get drinks, and that another person was planning to put either fentanyl or antifreeze in his drink.

“They was trying to kill you, and I told Mesha and Liz that I didn’t want to do anything to you,” the woman said.

Moffett then asks Cochran who else they have tried to poison, to which she starts naming a lot of people. She then mentioned another person who was killed unintentionally. As shecontinued speaking, she mentioned Polo and alleged that a hit was ordered against him. However, she claims she had no involvement in his death.

“You know the police with this evidence right here, they’ll take you away from your baby,” the man tells the woman. “That’s accessory after the fact, you knew…whether you was there or not, you knew.”

Cochran then says Polo was not shot but rather drugged, but she didn’t know what substance was used. Later, she reveals that she was sent to the man to act as his fake girlfriend, in order to obtain his government name and frame him for fraud.
