Indicted for kidnapping of an adult, first-degree wanton endangerment, third-degree terroristic threatening, first-degree unlawful imprisonment and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon is 28-year-old Devon Williamson of Hopkinsville. According to the Hopkinsville Police Department report, Williamson had the two victims come to his residence to question them about some stolen items in July, and then upon their arrival proceeded to allegedly lock them in the house. He reportedly made them put down their items, in which he reportedly believed he had seen his stolen property.
Williamson reportedly became agitated would not allow the female victim to leave, though he did let the male victim leave as he ‘had no issue’ with him. Williamson allegedly fired a gunshot into the kitchen floor and told the female victim he ‘would blow her away’ if she did not sit down.
