Man who held a woman hostage crashes into a utility pole when fleeing from officers

Officials arrested a man on Sunday after he allegedly hid in a woman's bedroom.

Members of the Williamson County Sheriff's Office received word from a woman reporting domestic battery in her home on Sunday around 9:10 a.m. Deputies arrived at the scene to learn the woman arrived at her property Saturday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. to find suspect Larry D. Parsons in her bedroom.

The woman possessed a restraining order against Parsons for prior interactions. According to a release from the sheriff's office, Parsons attacked the woman at her house on Saturday with a knife and hit her with a metal object. He continued to hold her until her escape Sunday morning.
