Update: Allen Curry entered a guilty plea to false imprisonment Sept. 26, 2016, and the prosecution dismissed the kidnapping charge. He was sentenced by Judge John Girardeau to serve four years in custody, but that time was deemed served at the time of the sentencing hearing.


Previous story: A man paroled out of prison Tuesday was transported to face a 2012 kidnapping charge in Hall County.

Allen Johann Curry, 31, of Toccoa, was booked Tuesday into the Hall County Jail to face charges of kidnapping and false imprisonment from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.

A woman told authorities that her estranged boyfriend Curry kidnapped her May 20, 2012, from her Lookout Court home in Lula and drove her to Macon, according to Hall County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Deputy Nicole Bailes.

“The report indicates that Curry shoved the female victim into his vehicle and threatened her harm if she did not comply with him,” Bailes wrote in an email.

Bailes said the woman filed a rape report with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, though the deputy was unsure of the resolution to the allegation. Representatives from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, Bibb County Clerk’s Office and Bibb County District Attorney’s Office declined to comment to The Times about the case by phone.

Curry was indicted on Dec. 19, 2012, on one count of kidnapping and one count of false imprisonment.

In Stephens County, Curry was convicted of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections database. He was incarcerated in a state prison from October 2012 until Tuesday.

Curry was booked in to the Hall County Jail, where he remains.
