A Texas man is facing multiple criminal charges after he was accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend at an Arlington apartment complex where she shot her new boyfriend.
Aaron Webb was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday, December 30. Police confirmed in a news release that he is currently being held in the Arlington City Jail without bond, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Officers were called to the residence on Forest Hills Drive in north Arlington around 11:10 p.m. after Webb, 25, allegedly entered his ex-girlfriend’s apartment.
Police said that after being shot, the 29-year-old victim, along with another woman and two children, managed to escape the residence by climbing through a rear window. However, Webb took his ex-girlfriend with him, forcing her into his own car and driving off with her.
After witnesses described the type of car he fled in, authorities were able to track down Webb and his ex-girlfriend through dash cams. After finding them in Fort Worth, Webb was arrested a short time later without incident and the gun was recovered. Police added that the ex-girlfriend suffered facial injuries after Webb allegedly hit her while they were in the vehicle. However, he managed to escape the situation largely unscathed.
