Bracken then reportedly placed a firearm in the victim’s back upon the arrival of police, which allegedly prevented the victim from making contact with officers out of fear that Bracken would injure her. Brackens later left the location, at which time the victim notified police a second time.
Bracken is currently wanted for aggravated assault (domestic), false imprisonment (armed) and domestic abuse battery.
