A MAN was this afternoon acquitted of the false imprisonment.
Liam Woods, of Pickering Road, west Hull, was found not guilty by a jury following a trial at Hull Crown Court.
The court had heard Christopher Hipkiss was imprisoned by a gang at a flat in west Hull because they thought he was responsible for stealing £90 from one of their bank accounts.
The victim was force-fed potpourri during his ordeal.
Alexander Oades, Holly Norman and Jamie Mullenger all pleaded guilty to false imprisonment.
Mr Woods claimed he only pretended to bind Mr Hipkiss's hands.
