SEYMOUR, Tenn. (WVLT) -- An attempted kidnapping sent a Sevier County father on a personal vendetta Monday morning. The dad chased down the accused kidnapper, then, opened fire on him.
Sevier County Sheriff's deputies later caught Kevin Montgomery, 37.

He's now charged with attempting kidnapping and aggravated assault.

Sevier County detectives say no one should do this, but John Walker says he wanted to get the man who he says went after his daughter.

It all started in this Seymour Kroger parking lot on Chapman Highway just after 7:00 am. John Walker's daughter called 9-1-1 after she told dispatchers just barely escaped an attack.

"I was at the Kroger’s on Chapman Highway and I was trying to get into my and then this guy was parked next to me and he grabbed me inappropriately, and tried to put me into his car," the 20-year-old victim said.

The Sevier County Sheriff's Office says "he" was Kevin Montgomery, 37. Before the victim called 9-1-1, she called her father, John Walker.

He says he found Montgomery still in the parking lot, then chased him by car to the E-Z stop just down Chapman Highway...all the while talking with 911 dispatchers.

"Well, he's running through the parking lot at Exxon.
He's trying to go into Boyd's Creek," Walker said.

Walker says he refused to let his daughter's accused kidnapper get away. He

Walker says he tried to confront Montgomery, but Montgomery tried to hit him in his car. That's when Walker opened fire with his 9 mm.

"I just put four rounds into his [expletive] car. He's heading towards Blount County," Walker told dispatchers.

"I might have shot his tire out.... I got a gun to carry a permit....I shot at his tire," he said.

Walker lost him, but Sevier County deputies caught Montgomery at the Zoomer's Market on Winfield Dunn parkway. Detectives warn you not to chase down an accused criminal.

"You understand the father's emotions when his daughter is being abducted, but that's what the police are for," detective Matthew Cubberely said.

Montgomery’s in the Sevier County Jail on $100,000 bond. His next court date hasn't been set.

The investigation into the alleged kidnapping continues.
