Overview
- Prosecutors charged Tamara “Tammi” Hamby, David Q. Quach, Nico L. Austria, and Shannon Jazmin Yvonne Childers with conspiracy counts including Class A kidnapping and abuse, Class D false imprisonment, and misdemeanor battery and terroristic threatening.
- The four surrendered at the Crawford County Detention Center and were released the same day on bond, with initial court appearances expected in the coming days.
- An arrest affidavit says the 22-year-old was lured with a promise to meet “Luke Bryan,” taken to a rural field, zip-tied and tied to a tree, and later escaped to seek help.
- After a closed protective-custody hearing, state caseworkers took the woman into care, and those records remain sealed.
- Hamby, a former county library board member involved in local book disputes, is due in court on Dec. 10, according to local reports.
