Women injured after alleged assault, kidnapping
Four formally charged, warrants issued
By AMIE CATO-REMER EDITOR

Two women reportedly escaped an alleged assault and possible kidnapping attempt on January 27, after jumping from a pickup and running to nearby workers for help, according to an affidavit filed by the Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s Office.

Deputies were dispatched around 9:30 a.m. to E. 1100 Road in reference to an alleged assault and possible kidnapping after a reporting party told dispatchers his friends were being assaulted and forced into a dark-colored Ford F-150 by two women and a man.

According to the affidavit, dispatchers relayed that the suspects were striking the reporting party’s vehicle and attempting to pull him from it while forcing the two female victims into the back seat of the truck.

The male suspect then reportedly drove east on 1100 Road toward 4750 Road with the victims inside.

Authorities said the truck stopped at the intersection of 1100 and 4750 roads, where the two women then jumped out and ran toward two men working on a nearby property. The women climbed into one of the workers’ trucks and asked for help, telling them they were being beaten.

Deputies from the Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s Department, along with officers from Roland Police Department and Muldrow Police Department, arrived shortly afterward.

The driver of the Ford F-150 was identified as Gregory Williams. According to the affidavit, Williams told deputies he did not know what was going on and claimed the women had allegedly stolen money from him. He was placed in restraints and detained pending investigation before being transported to the Sequoyah County Jail.

The two women told deputies they had gone to a friend’s residence after being asked to bring cigarettes.

They alleged that when Williams, Ashley Siebert aka Johnson, and Amie Lindgren arrived, one of them was struck with bats and sticks.

One of the victims was reportedly bleeding heavily from her nose and had swelling and red marks on her face. The other had bruising and a large swollen area on her forehead.

EMS responded to the scene and observed multiple bruises but said neither woman wished to be transported to the hospital.

The workers told deputies they saw the two women jump from the truck and run toward them. They said the women yelled that the driver was “beating them” and asked for help.

The witnesses reported that Williams approached their truck and attempted to pull one of the women out before they intervened and told him to step back.

Deputies later returned to the residence where the incident allegedly began and reported finding signs of a struggle in the driveway, including blood spatters on the snow.

An inventory of Williams’ truck reportedly revealed a blue aluminum baseball bat in the back seat, a wooden plank in the rear floorboard and a flashlight resembling a bat under the driver’s seat.

The victims told deputies the assault involved a blue baseball bat, a smaller black bat and a piece of wood. One victim also alleged Williams at one point attempted to strike her with a hammer before another suspect told him to stop.

Williams, 65, of Muldrow, was transported to the Sequoyah County Jail where he was booked in on charges of kidnapping, assault, battery, or assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and received a $15,000 bond.

He pled not guilty to the charges and is scheduled for a March 11 felony disposition docket in Sequoyah County District Court.

He was additionally charged with conspiracy and received a $10,000 bond on that charge.

Arrest warrants were issued on February 6 for both Siebert aka Johnson, 35, and Lindgren, 41, both of Muldrow, who are facing the same three felony charges. District Judge Kyle Waters has set each of their bond at $25,000, according to court documents.

A warrant was also issued for Tiffany D. Halsey’s arrest on a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.

Halsey, 41, of Roland, was arrested on Feb. 9 and received a $10,000 bond. She is scheduled for a March 4 arraignment in Sequoyah County District Court.

District Attorney Jack Thorp said if found guilty of the kidnapping charge, it is punishable by imprisonment for up to 20 years while the conspiracy charge is is punishable for up to 10 years and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
