Arkansas police arrest Joplin woman for kidnapping

Bentonville, Arkansas, police arrested Heather Hull, 24, 2640 E. 34th Street, Joplin, Saturday, for kidnapping and theft of property, according to an article in the Northwest Arkansas Democrat and Gazette.

From the Democrat and Gazette:

Paul Ray Halligan told police he was kidnapped and beaten earlier this month in Bentonville, according to police records. He said Hull picked him up in Coffeyville, Kan. They drove to the Value Place Inn in Bentonville and picked up Tracy Ova, and the trio drove to a Confederate Regulators event in Manchester, Ky.

When they returned June 5 to the motel in Bentonville, Halligan told police the women left him in the room with Rick Shetters, Eric Edinger and Chris Castleman, according to the affidavit.

The men accused Halligan of stealing money and drugs from someone in Kentucky, and Castleman head-butted and choked him, according to the affidavit.
