KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman before an hours-long standoff Monday with Grandview Police.
Clinton Everhart, 46, of Grandview, Missouri, faces two counts of first-degree sodomy or attempted sodomy, kidnapping and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to a news release from the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office.
Court documents state that the victim told detectives she was in a car with Everhart and two others Monday morning in Kansas City, Missouri.
