A man has been arrested in Sevier County after kidnapping an individual and running from police. On Sept. 30, Sevier County Deputies were dispatched to a family fight in Redmond. Trenton Seely had taken Linda Richens away in his truck after threatening to stab her.

Richens was able to contact her parents and tell them she was on Willow Creek Road. When troopers located Seely’s vehicle he fled on foot, then returned to the truck and drove away at a high rate of speed. Officers called off the chase due to safety reasons.
