He kidnapped a woman during the 2018 bike week, cops say. A year later, he’s behind bars
A 34-year-old man is accused of assaulting and kidnapping a woman for the duration of the 2018 Memorial Day bike rally weekend.
Police charged Terrance Rayon Thompson Wednesday evening with second-degree domestic violence, third-degree domestic violence, domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature and kidnapping.
He is being held in J. Reuben Long Detention Center as bail has not been set on the kidnapping and domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature charges.
The victim reported the assault to police officers on May 27. She said Thompson punched her in the mouth on May 25 while the two were at Ole Shillelagh Sports Bar, according to a police report.
Thompson then forcefully took the victim to the Bay View Resort and would not let her leave, according to a police report.
It wasn’t until two days later, on May 27, that the victim left the hotel, and she fled to the 4th Avenue North area. The victim tried to get her cellphone back from Thompson and he brandished a gun and threatened to shoot the victim, according to a police report.
Thompson fled the area with the cellphone, and the victim called the police.
