hassan ford was the subject of a statewide amber alert monday after a man walked into the barber shop on west 18th with a sawed off shotgun and robbed the owner. when ford walked in, apparently he had been on an errand, the gunman ordered him into the barber shop owner's car. the next day the teen called family and friends and said that he had been freed. that according to police. last night, though, police say they served a search warrant on an apartment on lone tree way in antioch and arrest add 23-year-old man also believed to be the gunman involved. they say the search of a van on that property also turned up a shotgun they believe was used in the probe and also property they believe that was taken in the robbery as well. that's the latest from here, reporting live in antioch, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> christie, thank you. this morning never before seen video showing one of jaycee dugard's kidnappers luring a
