Local Attorney Diffuses Hostage Situation In Texas
A former Brownfield man, Jack Curtis Dye of Lubbock, is jailed in Terry County on aggravated kidnapping charges after holding his ex wife hostage in her home at 1204 East Harris. The incident began at 3:53 a.m. when Dye entered the residence, dragged the woman to a bathroom, and aimed a shotgun at her while authorities negotiated through doorway friends. After an hour and a half, Dye allowed a man named Dyess into the room and, following a 45 minute exchange, Dye disarmed himself and surrendered the weapon. The woman was revived after passing out and Dye was booked with a $100,000 bond and transferred to Terry County jail awaiting arraignment.
