Sioux City 18-year-old pleads not guilty to kidnapping

SIOUX CITY — An 18-year-old Sioux City man has pleaded not guilty to kidnappings linked to a dispute over drug dealings.

Isaiah Mothershed entered his plea Monday in Woodbury County District Court. He’s charged with two counts of kidnapping and two counts of willful injury. Court documents say two people who went to buy marijuana from Mothershed on July 7 were bound and blindfolded by him after he accused them of helping another person steal his pot.
