Friday, February 3, 2012

H_crime_TurnerJasoniA two-year-old is reported to be safe and sound after being kidnapped from his Hendersonville home Sunday.

Two Gallatin men and a juvenile were arrested in connection with the crime.

Dacarri Turner, 20, of Buckingham Boulevard in Gallatin, was charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated burglary.

Jasoni Turner, 22, of Perrolee Street in Gallatin, was charged with criminal responsibility for the conduct of another in relation to the aggravated kidnapping charge.

The trio descended upon the apartment of the child's mother on New Shackle Island Road at around 1 a.m. and entered without permission, according to an affidavit filed in Sumner County General Sessions Court by Hendersonville Police Detective David Harrell.

“Inside the apartment, Dacarri D. Turner pushed and then pinned (the 19-year-old woman) against a wall in the apartment, preventing her from moving away,” Harrell wrote in the affidavit, adding that she was able to break free and ran towards a bedroom.

“As (she) ran to the bedroom to escape Dacarri D. Turner she heard the sound of a semi-automatic pistol having the slide 'racked,'” Harrell wrote. “(She) stated she feared Dacarri D. Turner would kill her and hid in the bedroom.”

Harrell wrote that the 17-year-old took the pistol from Turner, and Turner took the child without the consent of the mother and left in their vehicle.

The Gallatin Police Department stopped the car on Long Hollow Pike at 1:55 am., according to the affidavit, arrested the three, and found “a silver handgun identical to the one described by the witnesses....partially hidden in the rear of the vehicle where Dacarri D. Turner was seated.”

Dacarri Turner was held in the Sumner County Jail on $100,000 bond, and Jasoni Turner was held in the same facility on $50,000 bond.

The juvenile was held in a juvenile detention facility.

The Turners are scheduled to appear in Sumner County General Sessions Court on February 22, 2012.
