One of the women identified herself as Corp's "now ex-girlfriend" and told the deputy she was moving out of the apartment. Corp, who the sheriff's office said was "obviously intoxicated," exited the apartment and told the deputy he'd made up the kidnapping story to stop his girlfriend from leaving the apartment. Corp, who the sheriff's office said fought with the deputy during his arrest, was taken to jail on charges of misuse of 911 and resisting arrest.
