Attempted kidnapping ends in two apprehensions
On August 23 at approximately 7:15 p.m., police responded to a Marshall Drive residence regarding an attempted kidnapping of a female juvenile. Officers were told that a 13 year old female had been followed by a lone male in a black vehicle on Peachers Mill Road. The driver pulled along side of her and told her to get in his vehicle. She refused and continued walking. The vehicle continued following her. The driver made another attempt to get the juvenile into the vehicle.
After the second attempt, the juvenile crossed the street and entered Chum’s Market at 811 Peachers Mill Road. The vehicle followed her into the market’s parking lot. The juvenile informed the two adult clerks what had happened. One of the men lent her a cellphone to call her mother while the other man went into the parking lot to record the vehicle’s license tag number. The vehicle quickly exited the parking lot and retreated into the parking lot of the apartment complex directly opposite Chum’s Market.
After the child contacted her mother, she was taken to her residence. Her chaperone noticed that the suspect vehicle seemed to be following them but it turned off before they reached the juvenile’s home.

Police make arrest in rape case
Kevin George Jones, charged with rape
A Clarksville man was arrested Nov. 4 on rape charges related to an assault in the Providence Boulevard area.
Clarksville police were called to a Peachers Mill Road business on November 4 in reference to an assault. A 38-year-old woman told officers she was walking in the area of Providence Blvd. when she accepted a ride from a man, later identified as Kevin George Jones, who was driving a Chevy Tahoe, TN tag- 481 XLK. The woman stated they discussed trading sex for money, but when they did not reach an agreement the woman attempted to exit the vehicle. However, the passenger side door handle did not function.
The man pulled into a parking lot and told the victim she was going to sex with him. Becoming afraid at this point, she relented. The man forced the woman to have sex without her consent and struck her in the face several times. He forced the woman back into the vehicle, took her to the Trice Landing Boat Dock where he backed the vehicle until the back was in the water. He then told the woman to exit the vehicle and put her on her knees in the water. He forced her to have sex, grabbing her by the hair and striking her at times. He then forced her head under water to the point she thought she was going to drown.
When the rape was completed, the man drove to business on the 1500 block of Fort Campbell Blvd., and ordered the woman to remain naked in the vehicle.
