Additional charges for Atmore man

An Atmore man who was out on bond from a 2017 case charging him with a felon being in possession of a firearm, is back behind bars facing charges of kidnapping I and violation of a domestic violence restraining order.

Kenyatta McCants, 47, 406 Peach Tree St., was arrested by Atmore police and later given a $250,000 bond.

The district attorney's office has also filed a motion to have McCants' bond revoked on his previous charge.

Court records show McCants was issued a domestic violence restraining order on Jan. 10, to have no contact with the victim in this case.

According to the arrest warrants, on or about April 8, McCants knowingly violated the domestic violence protection order by physically coming in contact with the victim and making threats to harm her.

The kidnapping warrant states McCants forced the victim into her car against her will by threatening her and then began driving around at a high rate of speed and not allowing the victim to get away from him.

A condition of his bond is that he have no contact with the victim.
