A Magness Road man was arrested last week after he assaulted his girlfriend and then fired gunshots at his sister who was trying to intervene in the dispute.
33 year old Nathan Joe Trapp of Magness Road, Smithville is under a $10,000 bond and his court date is May 25.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Tuesday, May 9 two deputies were dispatched to a residence on Magness Road due to a report of a physical domestic with shots fired. Trapp had already left the home by the time the officers arrived.
The deputies spoke with Trapp’s sister who said that Trapp had called wanting her to bring him some butterfly bandages for his head. Trapp’s sister arrived at the residence and heard a woman screaming. She then opened the door and saw Trapp hitting his girlfriend, 22 year old Taylor Nicole Hensley, in the head with a pistol. After trying to put Taylor in a head lock, Trapp 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. Trapp’s sister called for him to let Taylor go. Trapp then came at his sister, picked her up by her throat, and carried her out the door. Once outside the door, he shoved his sister down the steps. Trapp’s sister 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.
Trapp was arrested the following day, Wednesday May 10.
During the investigation, deputies learned that Hensley, a resident of Floyd Drive Smithville, is wanted in Tarrant, Texas on an active warrant. She was charged with being a fugitive from justice and is under a $75,000 bond. Her court date is May 25th. Texas authorities plan to extradite her back there.
