Restraining Orders Don't Work | True Crime Daily Brief

In an alleged kidnapping, a 73-year-old man forced a woman to wear a leash around her neck after kidnapping a couple.

A hiker called 911 on June 17 at 8:10 a.m. to report seeing two other hikers being held at gunpoint near the 3600 block of South Oak Way, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. According to reports, the witness remained on the line until deputies arrived and provided updates.

Despite locating the couple, deputies learned that the suspect, Kerry Endsley, was still at large. He was reportedly confronted at gunpoint soon after they found him. Deputies say Endsley ignored their commands and pointed a stun gun at them after pulling out a gun from his waistband - later determined to be a stun gun. One deputy shot at Endsley, but failed to hit him, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. According to reports, a second deputy struck Endsley with his Taser.

Upon arrest, he was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

In their statement, the couple told deputies they saw a man kneeling on the ground tying his shoe while walking along the trail. As they walked by him, he reportedly pointed his gun at them. It was alleged that Endsley "ordered the female to the ground and tethered her to a nylon leash."

A male victim got Endsley's gun out of his hands and fled with his wife, according to reports.

The victims are reportedly familiar with Endsley. He was not recognized by the couple because he "had altered his physical appearance and disguised himself.", according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

In the past, he allegedly harassed the female victim. Even a restraining order has been issued against him.

The charges against Endsley include second-degree kidnapping, felony menacing, and violating a restraining order.
