Wow. Just read this in Music Row magazine’s daily e-newsletter:
Sandy Brooks, ex-wife of Garth Brooks, survived an abduction at gunpoint from her Oklahoma farm on Monday (4/3). She was held captive for a short time after leading bail bondsmen to the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Quintine Harper, who was an employee on the Brooks’ property. When Harper learned the bondsmen were there to take him in, he abducted Brooks and forced her to drive him off the property; she escaped a few miles down the road and police later apprehended the suspect…
That’s pretty freakin’ dramatic. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it elsewhere.
Abducted at gunpoint?! Now that’s a bad day.
It hit cnn.com for a day or two, but not for very long.
I saw it in the mainstream press a couple of days ago, but I don’t recall where.
I saw blurbs about that in the entertainment columns of the local newsie, and in one of the larger ones (Chi. Trib, or USA Today, don’t remember which). Just glad she made it out in one piece…
