MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Two people face charges after deputies say a 20-year-old man broke into a Macon home and forced his 18-year-old sister into a car before being confronted by their grandmother.
According to a news release, the Macon-Bibb Emergency 911 Center received a disturbance call from a home in the 1400 block of Conestoga Trail around 10:38 a.m. Saturday. That’s in the Lake Wildwood neighborhood.
Deputies say 20-year-old Patrick Hines Jr. unlawfully entered the home, forcibly removed his sister and placed her inside a red four-door sedan.
The sheriff’s office says the victim escaped and ran back to her legal guardian after the grandmother confronted Hines and distracted him.

Deputies say as they tried to arrest Hines, 18-year-old Angel Aaliyah Sims got out of the car and interfered with his arrest. Deputies then arrested both Hines and Sims.
Hines is charged with kidnapping, first-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Sims is charged with kidnapping and misdemeanor obstruction of a law enforcement officer. The sheriff’s office says she was also wanted in Bibb County on a charge of terroristic threats and acts.
Both were taken to the Bibb County Jail.
