A Tennessee man accused of making a man masturbate at gunpoint during a robbery was captured Thursday after a lengthy police chase, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
Lawrence H. Bond, of Morristown, Tennessee, was wanted by authorities ever since he and a female accomplice allegedly held a gun to a man's head and demanded money sometime in March.
He escaped to Florida where authorities tracked him down and spotted him outside a pharmacy, according to police back in Sevierville, Tennessee, where the victim is from.
Bond fled the Miami pharmacy on a motorcycle upon seeing the officers. Patrol cars and a police chopper chased after the 53-year-old until they caught up with and arrested the wanted fugitive.
Police say during the robbery Bond threatened to kill the man as he demanded his money. At one point, Bond made the victim masturbate while he still had a gun pointed at him, Sevierville police told the newspaper.
His alleged accomplice, Amanda Lynn Wells, was also wanted for the March robbery. She was tracked down and arrested Thursday by U.S. Marshals in West Knoxville, WATE reported.
Bond remains held in Florida pending his extradition back to Tennessee, where he and Wells face charges of aggravated battery and especially aggravated kidnapping. Bond also faces a count of aggravated sexual battery.
