Man convicted in Broken Arrow kidnapping case

TULSA — Randy Alan Hamett is accused of kidnapping a woman from her Broken Arrow home in April, using a taser on her and tying her ankles and wrists.

Prosecutors say Hammet cut a hole in the woman’s house to avoid her home alarm system.

Hamett forced the victim into a car with the gun she bought to protect herself against him.

The woman’s parents became worried that she was in danger and contacted police.

He eventually allowed the victim to text her parents about her whereabouts so they would not become suspicious.

Investigators where then able to track the pair down at a hotel in Arkansas.

U.S. Attorney Trent Shores announced Wednesday that a jury found Hamett guilty of Kidnapping, Possessing and Receiving Stolen Firearm and Ammunition, and Possession of Firearms and Ammunition While Subject to a Domestic Violence Protective Order.

Hamett faces a maximum penalty life in prison, a $250,000 fine, and five years supervised release for the kidnapping conviction.
