| A Clay County man who was charged with the kidnapping and assault of a Calhoun woman and her four-year-old daughter, has been indicted on two counts of kidnapping and two counts of sexual assault in the second degree.
The case was presented yesterday to a Calhoun Grand Jury by Prosecutor Matt Minney. He was among nine individuals indicted who will stand trial.
 Sean Andrew Thacker, 28, of Maysel was arrested after an incident on February 9 along Milo Road which authorities described as a volatile hostage situation.
Court records said Thacker used "force, threats and duress" as he "confined or concealed" twenty-three-year-old Lisa Adkins to extort sex from her.
Thacker, who is married and has children in Clay County, reportedly used a knife, ropes and other restraints on Adkins and her four-year-old daughter.
Calhoun County Deputy Sheriff Ron Bandy and State Trooper Jeff Hunt responded to a 911 call after which Thacker fled the residence. He was picked-up by Trooper Hunt while going down a rural road.
Authorities said Adkins and her daughter did not receive serious physical injuries during the hostage taking.
Thacker had been charged with third
degree sexual abuse in Clay County, otherwise known as statutory rape. The charges were related to an incident with a 16-year-old female in that county. Records
indicate Thacker was indicted for the offense, but the charges were dismissed in June, 2003.
Court records say that Thacker has also been charged with disturbing a school activity, obstructing an officer, indecent exposure, driving while suspended or revoked (multiple charges), possession of alcohol under the age of 21, public intoxication, among other traffic violations.
Thacker has been held in Central Regional Jail since the incident.
