Bail bondsman arrested on kidnapping charges

October 14, 2015
Charlea Mills

     A bail bondsman from Clever was arrested for allegedly kidnapping a man in May. Christopher Joseph Tanner, 38, was charged with kidnapping, assault in the second degree and a licensed agent failing to inform law enforcement of apprehension.
     According to an affidavit of probable cause, Tanner entered a residence without permission on Center Street in Cassville on May 25. Officer Danny    Boyd wrote that Tanner had a firearm in his hand when he entered the residence and pointed it at Matthew Moore, telling him to get on the floor, face-down.
     Tanner then allegedly handcuffed Moore and drove him to J.D. Hunter’s residence telling Moore that Hunter would “split his head open.” Once at the residence, Hunter told Tanner to take the handcuffs off and release Moore.
     According to the report, Hunter told Tanner that he could not take someone from their home at gunpoint without a certified copy of the bond from the court. Tanner released Moore at that point.
     Tanner was charged with the three counts on September 30 and was booked into the Barry County Jail on October 7. He posted the $30,000 cash-only bond the following day and was released on October 8.
