Police nab man in woods for kidn

A Madisonville man is facing felony charges after hiding in the woods from law enforcement.

A woman called 911 at 9:50 p.m. July 6 to report her daughter was being held against her will near National Campground Road by Sammy J. Stillwell, 40.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Matthew Fagiana and Deputy Brandon Dishner arrived at the address and found the daughter, LCSO Lt. Det. Charlie Cosner wrote in a report. She told officers she had been at a campsite with Stillwell since July 4. When she told Stillwell she had to leave July 6, he became angry and took her keys and cellphone to keep her from leaving or contacting anyone for help.

The woman said Stillwell continued to argue and threaten her after taking her belongings.

When officers arrived at the campsite, Stillwell fled into nearby woods. He was found later that evening by the LCSO K-9 team and taken into custody.

Stillwell was charged with kidnapping and resisting arrest and held without bond.

Man makes threats

Deputies arrested a Lenoir City man for domestic assault July 6 after he threatened to kill himself.

LCSO Deputy Christian Rogers responded at 12:30 a.m. to a home on Pawpaw Plains Road. He met a woman who said Michael George Tapp Jr., 31, was upset and threatening to kill himself with a steak knife.

Tapp and the woman had an argument earlier in the evening that led to a physical altercation. Tapp had pushed the woman into the pantry and caused bleeding on the back of her head. He then ran outside, claiming he was “done and was going to kill himself,” Rogers wrote in a report.

Tapp was not at the scene when Rogers arrived but later walked into the home as Rogers and other deputies were clearing the dwelling. Rogers asked Tapp to give his side of the story, and he responded, “It was just another night.”

Rogers took Tapp into custody for domestic assault. On the way to the jail, Tapp said, “You think she was bad tonight, just wait till I get back to the house,” according to a report.

Tapp was charged with domestic assault-misdemeanor and released on $1,500 bond.
