According to the Sheriff’s Office, once the victim was taken to the hospital, she gave a detailed account of the incident, which led to the discovery of the car where the incident occurred.

A report said evidence shows that 29-year-old Christopher Tyler Eversole sexually assaulted the victim on three occasions while holding her against her will. He threatened the victim with a gun discharging.

Deputies said Eversole was taken to the Sheriff’s Office where he told his side of the story and claimed the acts were consensual.

• Kidnapping
• Three counts of criminal sexual conduct - first degree
