A 33-year-old local man was taken into custody after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend and fired a gun at his sister.

 

According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, Nathan Joe Trapp was charged with aggravated assault after deputies dispatched to a Magness Road home on May 9 to investigate a report of a physical domestic with shots fired. Trapp had already left the home by the time the officers arrived, and was located and taken into custody the next day.

 

The man’s sister reportedly told deputies that Trapp had called wanting her to bring him some bandages for his head. Ray said the woman arrived at the residence and heard screaming. When she then opened the door she allegedly saw Trapp hitting his girlfriend, 22-year-old Taylor Nicole Hensley, in the head with a pistol.

 

After trying to put his girlfriend in a head lock, Trapp allegedly placed the gun to her head and said he was going to shoot her. He then pointed the gun at his sister and said he was going to shoot her too.

 

When Trapp’s sister called for him to let Hensley go, he reportedly picked her up by her throat, carried her out the door, and shoved her down the steps. The woman got into her vehicle and drove next door to call 911. As she was leaving, Trapp came out the door, pointed the gun at his sister, and fired several shots at her. She was not hit by the gunfire.

 

His bond is $10,000, and his court date is May 25.

 

The investigation also revealed that Hensley was wanted in Tarrant, Texas on an active warrant. She was charged with being a fugitive from justice.

 

Her bond is $75,000, and her court date is May 25. Texas authorities plan to extradite.
