Detailed Account of the Incident Involving Corey and the Two Women
According to earlier reports by TSR, Corey Pritchett is accused of kidnapping two women after a bowling outing in Houston on November 23. Initially, he invited them for an ATV ride, but their comfort levels dropped when two male friends of his joined the group. During the journey, Pritchett allegedly claimed that a rival group was present at the bowling alley and offered to drive the women home for safety. However, on their way, he reportedly brandished a firearm and issued threats before ultimately releasing the women, abandoning them on the roadside.
After the news of the arrest warrant for Corey became public, law enforcement struggled to locate him. Eventually, they discovered through his social media updates that he was in Dubai, where he seemed nonchalant, sharing videos of his travels and humorously commenting on the situation as if he were evading capture.
