Authorities said Safty forced entry into the residence where the threatened a woman with a replica firearm before then tying her ups with a martial arts belt. Safty then took the victim’s SUV and led authorities on a pursuit before then fleeing on foot. He was later found hiding on top of a livestock trailer. The sheriff’s office said in a release that Safty allegedly confessed.
