A Harlan County man and woman were recently arrested after one allegedly kidnapped the other, leading to a fight in front of Big Lots.

Destiny Adams, 18, of Lynch, was arrested by Harlan City Police Department officer Travis Freeman on Oct. 31. Christopher Engle, 43, of Grays Knob, was arrested by Harlan PD officers on Nov. 1.

According to Freeman’s citation, Harlan PD received a call stating Adams and Engle were fighting in the parking lot in front of Big Lots. Freeman said when he arrived on scene, Adams was sitting on the curb arguing with a woman, who told the officer Adams unlawfully entered her vehicle and injured her child.

Freeman said Adams appeared to be heavily under the influence and she allegedly told Freeman she had been fighting with Engle over drug money. She added Engle held her against her will at gunpoint for two days before coming to meet another person near Goodwill. Adams said she tried to run away and entered the closest vehicle she could to get away from Engle.

Adams allegedly entered a crew cab truck where two young children were waiting on their mother to return from the store. Adams sat on a boy in the front passenger seat, whose sister exited from the back and tried to get him out of the vehicle while Engle was attacking the woman.

Freeman said the boy was hit and kicked multiple times after being sat on and the girl received a cut on her finger while trying to get her brother out of the truck.

Freeman arrested Adams and charged her with second-degree wanton endangerment, unauthorized use of motor vehicle, public intoxication of controlled substance and failure to appear. She was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $500 full-cash bond.

On Nov. 1, Freeman was able to obtain a warrant for Engle’s arrest, which he used the same day.

Engle was charged with kidnapping (adult) and first-degree wanton endangerment. He was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $2,500 full-cash bond.
