Williams and Allen were arrested by deputies and U.S. Marshals near River Road for the kidnapping. Currently, they are being held at the DeKalb County Jail without bond and facing felony kidnapping charges.
The case went viral on Twitter as women chimed in that being harmed or killed by a man after rejecting his advances was one of their worse fears.
A woman said no to men at the gas station and got kidnapped for it. They would’ve killed her if she hadn’t escaped. Unhinged

All because she dared to decline their advances. Women can’t say no and we aren’t safe anywhere. https://t.co/UqYkua7FNS

Twitter user @_ellemiich said a similar situation happened to her in 2007 when two men followed her after she rejected their catcalling.

A perfect time to remind women that there is an emergency latch in the trunk of cars made after 2000 I believe .. usually on the sides .. pull it n the truck automatically flys up.
Never forget that. https://t.co/tOaZxcD5nm

A similar incident took place in Atlanta last year when a woman was shot and injured after rejecting a man while riding a scooter with her boyfriend near Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Police said Samuel Savage witnessed the shooting after the suspect fired several shots toward Meirra Mansara and Juwan Davis after Davis told him to stop hitting on his girlfriend.
“It was really heartbreaking. She was screaming, she was crying, and she kept grabbing her phone to call her mom.”
