The Sevierville Police Department is asking for help from the public in locating two suspects with multiple active warrants for their arrest.

The warrants are the result of an early March 2015 incident in which the two suspects allegedly kidnapped a 26-year old man in an attempt to steal money from him. During the incident, Bond reportedly held a gun to the victim’s head and threatened to kill him. The aggravated sexual battery charge for Bond accuses him of holding a gun to the victim’s head and ordering him to masturbate.

Sevierville Police warn that these suspects should be considered armed and dangerous and no one should approach the suspects. Anyone with information pertaining to the whereabouts of either suspect is requested to contact Detective Bush at 865-868-1748.

All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
