Here’s What Allegedly Happened Between Corey & The Two Women
TSR previously reported that Corey Pritchett was accused of kidnapping two women after a bowling outing in Houston on Nov. 23. The social media influencer invited the women to go ATV riding, but they felt uneasy when two of his friends joined. Furthermore, Pritchett told the women that a rival group was at the bowling alley and offered to drive them home. On the way, he allegedly pulled a gun on them and began making threats at them. Despite his aggressive comments, he eventually released the women, leaving them stranded on the side of the road.
After news of the warrant for Corey’s arrest broke, police couldn’t reach him. Later, they found out through his social media that he was in Dubai. He continued to post videos, showing himself having fun and making jokes about supposedly being on the run.
