The
Gulf County Sheriff's office arrested a Wewahitchka man on Monday for
kidnapping and other charges.
The
Sheriff''s department arrested 40 year old David Anthony Hysmith
after Hysmith's wife reported that he had violated an injunction for
Protection Against Domestic Violence the court had approved on
January the 18th.
The
Injunction prohibited Hysmith from having contact with his wife or to
go to the couple’s residence.
The
victim reported she was confronted by her husband at their home in
Wewahitchka Monday morning.
During
the confrontation Hysmith battered, threatened to shoot and held the
victim against her will.
He
then forced the victim at gun point to drive him to a remote location
north of Wewahitchka where he exited the vehicle which gave the
victim an opportunity to escape.
The
sheriff's office responded to the area where Hysmith was last seen.
K-9
Units from Gulf Correctional Institution and Calhoun Correctional
Institution assisted in the hunt for Hysmith, along with the Bay
County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit and officers with the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Hysmith
was apprehended near the intersection of State Road 71 and Stone Mill
Creek Road after the K-9 Units tracked him over seven miles.
Hysmith
was armed when he was taken into custody.
He
was charged with Violation of Injunction for Protection Against
Domestic Violence, Felony Battery, Aggravated Assault with a Firearm,
False Imprisonment and Kidnapping.
