Woman’s Violent Nightmare Comes to an End - Kidnapper Behind Bars
PASCO – During the monolog of the hit reality cable T.V. series, The First 48, Investigators say “…If they don’t have a lead, a suspect or an arrest within 48 hours, their chances of solving a case is cut in half.”
That’s exactly what Investigators with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office and Pasco County Detective were able to accomplish, after a violent kidnapping left a woman battered and in fear for her life last Saturday. Follow This Link for the Original Story
Throughout the day Saturday, investigators searched desperately for the victim, 26-year-old Michelle Padurano. During the harrowing ordeal, her abductor, 26-year-old Ricardo Cleveland Sellers Jr. sent images of Padurno’s battered face and demanded money for her safe return.
Thankfully, Padurano was dropped off on Shoal Line Blvd, where family picked her up and transported her to Oak Hill Hospital. Padurano sustained lacerations, bruising, and several broken bones during the brutal and terrifying nightmare.
On Sunday, Investigators located Sellers hiding at a Rodeway Inn Hotel in Pasco County. Law Enforcement moved in and placed Sellers into custody without incident.
Sellers was booked into the Pasco County Jail on charges of Kidnapping with a Firearm, Aggravated Assault with a Firearm, and Aggravated Battery. Sellers also violated the conditions of his Parole from a previous conviction.
Unfortunately, Michelle Padurano was arrested by Hernando County deputies for two outstanding Failure to Appear warrants. She is currently free on $3,000 bond.

Just another day living in the Hood… smdh
so much for the theory that fat people don’t get kidnapped
it’s not funny what you are saying…. you are rude and not helping at all so stfu
Dude looks a lot like Snoop-Dog!
How was she able to bond out with Two “failure to appear” charges? She did not show for those cases, and $300.00 later she on the street again…
Yea, finally the judges got it right! According to RNRF on Facebook this ass hole is being held without bond. I say put him in a cell with someone his equal and let him get his ass kicked in the cell. Michele needs to get her life on am different path if she wants a better life. As far as the POS, he should be sent to some deserted island and dropped off and leave him there for eternity. This will save the taxpayers money. I say do this for every scum bag that sits in a cell at our expense.
Michelle? It goes by joke!
The 6th picture shows a Hernando County Sheriff, holding his gun in his right hand, while pointed his left hand at the girl. That seems very dangerous, if he has his gun out, he should be focused on what he is doing. Someone could of been killed.
Not a gun, it’s his gloved hand. His gun is in his right hand. Just the angle of the photo.
kam, My bad, I read this too quick! You’re right about his gun in his right hand. The left hand is out to maintain his space, a common practice in Law Enforcement if your weapon is drawn or not.
Wow my samdwich is getting better now I can learn about law enforcement techniques from idiots too love it please keep talking
No thats his glove had thats proper wow yall are geniuses dmfs
Joshua Thomas: If you are referring to me as someone who F****d your Dumb Mother, you can call me Daddy when no one else is around, but don’t ever ask me for money! If not, OH WELL.
How did they know that the guy was in a hotel in Pasco? Family friend whom they visit often? Not just a random kidnapper? What did he want in exchange for her? Money or drugs? Why did he let her out in Hernando Beach? Hmmm? Seems like a pretty dumb plan for this type of career criminal, I’m thinking this is a tall story.
Wow got some filth goin on here, sad thing is, one that brags about what they do to women, probably, CAN’T do anything but talk about it,, I think they have a pill for that, check with your doctor 38 Special . Geez smh
38 special … when your old ladies in a wheelchair and can’t get away from you, especially when you’re playing correction deputy.
Ricardo Cleveland Sellers Jr, look up his history. He’s been in and out since 2006. Don’t know why he’s still out running around. I knew him and he’s a violent person. This time I hope he goes for 15 years or more. This guy has a bad history. Just look up his name.
Im with proud vet send her to that island he knows about or better yet off to isis. Hope the make a breeder out of him her it . Guaranteed retards. Free Spellers. He was just trying to clean up the place.
Tom Lemons - Can you clarify the below statement? Who did he send images to?
And how much money was he demanding?
“During the harrowing ordeal, her abductor, 26-year-old Ricardo Cleveland Sellers Jr. sent images of Padurno’s battered face and demanded money for her safe return.”
Although a man should never lay his hands on a woman, these are the sort of things that can happen when people do drugs,
or associate with people who do drugs!
As stated in the article, the victim admits to abusing drugs; however, I cannot confirm if drugs played a part in this incident.
Regarding your other questions, the official report did not specify where the images were sent; however, I saw the image on a person’s phone. I cannot reveal that person’s identity.
The report did not specify how much money was demanded.
I didn’t ask about abusing drugs, I already knew that, as I stated in my last statement.
Thank you for answering my questions. 🙂
And thank you for keeping us all in the loop of what goes on in our county.
Hey daddy 38 ya I was talking to you im sorry we had to break up dont have to make it public your good with your mouth but we talked about it now lets be over with im with your brother now and thats it no need to talk about my mom she loved you and didn’t want us to break up sorry sweetie muuah.
She is a friggen joke!!! She is always filled with ignorant drama and probably did that to herself so her family would send money and her and sellers could do drugs with the money!!! Don’t associate with her anymore cuz she’s a druggie junkie!!! Maybe she will grow up now and realize life’s not about pills and meth!!!
Who the hell would kidnap a he/she anyways!!! I call ********
she is in jail today, Friday
Three people in the car one person busted with an ounce of heroin actually on them. 2 people in the car get charged with trafficking heroin. The third mysteriously walks away with a Summons for driving on suspended. Oh wait should I mention that same persons mother sparked an amazing investigation in the hernando county jail because she slept with most of the officers and claims one is the father of the baby. Once again that third person has mysteriously walked away with a minimal record SOMEHOW. THEY SAY SNITCHES GET STITCHES RIGHT? Finally glad to see her with some chargers she “MAY” have to do time for
