MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two men were arrested after a woman was rushed to the hospital and recounted a horrifying story to detectives.
Deputies with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said it started Tuesday, January 24 when a 23-year-old woman showed up to a house on Jack Bond Road.
She told detectives that she was met by Jacob Duboise who got angry with her and accused her of stealing a gun from him. The woman told authorities that Duboise then started punching and kicking her and cut her nose with a small knife.
After being beaten for nearly two hours, according to an arrest affidavit, she was forced into a white Hyundai at gunpoint. While in the car, the woman told police that Duboise sat in the backseat with her and forced her to drink antifreeze while 21-year-old Tobie Hurd drove.
She told authorities that, while she was drinking the antifreeze, she heard Duboise say, “Why won’t this (expletive) die?”
Duboise took her bank cards and her iPhone 11 and drove around to ATMs trying to take money from her accounts, she told authorities.
Eventually, deputies said she was forced out of the car in the area of Pleasant Ridge and Jack Bond, called 911 and was taken to Methodist North hospital in stable condition. Detectives said that the woman’s face was swollen and she had multiple cuts, an injury to her nose and a chipped tooth.
Additionally, the woman’s car, valued at $18K, was stolen from the house on Jack Bond Road, deputies said.
Deputies believe that two other men, working with Duboise and Hurd, were present during the assault and took her car..
Duboise was arrested and charged with especially aggravated kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault, aggravated robbery and assault.
Hurd was arrested and charged with the facilitation of especially aggravated kidnapping and facilitation of aggravated robbery.
