A Jonesborough man was arrested Tuesday after authorities report he kidnapped a victim and backed a vehicle over her leg.
According to a release from the Washington County Tennessee Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), the incident occurred on Sunday night when Garrett Hensley, 27, was driving with a female victim.Police: Man stabbed in chest at Bristol, Va. convenience store
The release states Hensley tried to buy the victim alcohol, despite her being underage. The WCSO reports he drove her from Washington County through Unicoi County and refused to let her exit the vehicle.
“Once Hensley stopped to buy alcohol, the victim attempted to leave the vehicle,” the release states. “Hensley immediately got back in the vehicle and began to drive erratically.”
The victim told the WCSO that while Hensley was driving, he nearly hit another vehicle head-on. Hensley then turned into a neighborhood on Creek Road, and as the vehicle slowed down, the victim jumped out.
Hensley allegedly backed over the victim’s leg after she left the vehicle. The victim then saw someone in a nearby yard and called for help, the WCSO reports.
