Man charged with kidnapping wife

CUMBERLAND COUNTY Investigators say on Sunday 22-year-old Jimmy Lee Proffitt II forcibly removed his wife, Heather Proffitt, from their home - which the pair shares with a 7-year-old - at gunpoint.

They say Proffitt pointed the gun at his wife and threatened to kill her after an argument. No one was hurt.

Proffitt is charged with first-degree kidnapping, possession of a firearm by felon and assault with a deadly weapon with a minor present.

He is currently being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond. Proffitt will make a first court appearance Monday afternoon.
