A Wallins man is facing multiple charges, including unlawful imprisonment and possession of a firearm by a felon, after allegedly holding a woman against her will and threatening another person with a firearm.

On Sunday, William Christopher Saylor, 33, was arrested by a Harlan County Sheriff’s deputy.

According to the citation, Reynolds received a call to conduct a well-being check on a female in the Coldiron community. A male reported the female was inside the residence being held against her will and threatened with a firearm. Once on the scene, law enforcement contacted a person in the residence’s driveway, who advised they were there to pick up the female. Contact was made with people inside the residence, including the female. The female was escorted to a vehicle, at which time the female gave a written statement advising she had been held against her will inside the residence by Saylor for approximately four hours.

The citation states Saylor had physically assaulted the female, put a sawed-off shotgun to her head, and threatened to kill her. After receiving the statement, Harlan County Sheriff’s deputies and Kentucky State Police troopers entered the residence with the resident’s consent and made contact with Saylor. A search of the home located a sawed-off shotgun and multiple rounds of ammunition.

Saylor was charged with first-degree unlawful imprisonment (attempt), first-degree wanton endangerment, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center.
