Garth Brooks Ex-Wife Kidnapped

[ILS1]

CLAREMORE, Oklahoma (AP) -- The ex-wife of country music star Garth Brooks was kidnapped at gunpoint by a man who worked on her farm after she cooperated with a bail bondsman who wanted to arrest the worker, authorities said Tuesday.

Sandy Brooks had allowed the bondsman onto her property Monday to apprehend the man, who was wanted on an outstanding warrant. The worker responded by drawing a weapon, forcing her into a car and ordering her to drive away, said Barry Lamb, undersheriff of Rogers County.

After driving for several miles (kilometers), Brooks stopped the car and fled into a convenience store, Lamb said.

Quintine Cornelius Harper, 24, was arrested and charged Tuesday with kidnapping and weapons offenses, police said.

Sandy Brooks and Garth Brooks were married for 15 years. The couple have three children, but none were present at the time of the kidnapping, Lamb said.

Garth Brooks married Trisha Yearwood in a private ceremony in December at their home northeast of Tulsa.

Sandy Brooks lives nearby, Lamb said.

I read an interview with Garth recently where he said that Trisha "was the woman he always loved" or something like that. I thought that was very disrespectful to the woman that gave him 3 children...:mad:

Yeah, it is. Hope that Sandy Brooks, has moved on with her life too. That must be awkward to have your ex living just behind your house.

I'm sure she got many millions from the divorce. She could easily afford to move to where ever she wanted to, if she wanted to. She must not be too miserable with the situation the way it is.
