A Clarendon man is facing aggravated kidnapping charges following a December 29 attack on a 26-year-old woman.
Brenton Arthur Campbell is being held on $500,000 bond in the Donley County Jail, according to Sheriff Butch Blackburn.
Campbell stabbed the woman in the chest and beat her severely on the night of December 29 and then kept her captive for about ten hours, the sheriff said. The victim was taken to the hospital in Pampa, where medical personnel called law enforcement. The victim gave a statement to police, who then notified Blackburn’s office
The victim transported to Amarillo for further treatment and is now home and doing reasonably well, Blackburn said.
Pampa Police, the Gray County Sheriff’s Office, and the Texas DPS CID worked with Donley County to obtain warrants
Campbell was arrested by Gray County authorities in Pampa December 30 and returned to Donley County December 31. He was arraigned the following day by Justice of the Peace Pat White.
“This was a very serious crime for Donley County,” Blackburn said, “and it was a bad way to end the year.”
Campbell will likely be facing additional charges in Gray County for possession and evasion, the sheriff said.
