RICHARDSON, Texas — Three bounty hunters face kidnapping charges after mistaking a man for a suspect with a similar name and taking him into custody at a home in Richardson, police said.

Alan Hinton and Devon Allard Carter each face charges of aggravated kidnapping and execution of a capias or arrest warrant, according to a statement from Richardson police.

A third suspect also faces charges, but he has not been arrested yet, police said.

The incident unfolded on June 1 at a home in the 3800 block of Aberdeen Court in northeast Richardson, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

The affidavit said the bounty hunters were searching for a capital murder suspect and believed they had tracked the man to a garage in Richardson, where he was giving a client a haircut. The bounty hunters told police they used an AI facial recognition tool and that the tool provided a 79% recognition match to the man they were looking for, the affidavit said.
