A Sweet Springs man has been charged with a felony for an alleged kidnapping incident which began in Sedalia and ended in Saline County on Tuesday, January 15.
A probable-cause statement says Pettis County deputies received a report of a victim who was a passenger in a vehicle which was being driven by 22-year-old Shane Hines. The victim stated Hines would not stop and let her out of the vehicle after multiple commands.
After losing contact with the victim, deputies reportedly tracked the victim’s cell phone which was located in the City of Sweet Springs. Deputies with assistance from Sweet Springs Police officers located and arrested Hines. Hines reportedly took a breathalyzer test which revealed his blood-alcohol level at .178. Deputies reportedly were authorized by Pettis County Sheriff Kevin Bond to pursue the vehicle into Saline County.
Online court documents say Hines has been charged with a Class D Felony for Second-Degree Kidnapping and a misdemeanor DWI. Bond has been set at $15,000 cash or surety.
Hines’ initial hearing is pending at Pettis County Circuit Court.
