LEXINGTON, Ga. - 


A Georgia man is behind bars after he allegedly kidnapped his pregnant girlfriend, then dumped her along the roadside during a police chase. The woman and her unborn child died.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, police called to a home in Oglethorpe County on August 23 for a domestic disturbance saw Ryan Arnold, 23, running away, shooting a weapon into the air. When they returned the next day, Arnold was allegedly barricaded inside with his girlfriend, Hayley Hill, 23.

Before police could secure the area, the GBI says that Arnold got in his vehicle and fled, eventually dumping Hill out of the car. Officers rendered aid to Hill, who was transported to the hospital, where both she and the unborn child later died.

Meanwhile, other officers pursued Arnold, who allegedly began shooting at the police. The GBI says that he then abandoned the first vehicle and hijacked another, kidnapping the man inside. More gunfire was exchanged and finally Arnold was apprehended.

Paul Davis, 58, the man whose truck Arnold allegedly stole, was wounded in the shooting. According to a GBI spokesperson, police did not realize Arnold was holding Davis hostage in the truck.

According to the GBI, Arnold has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault, one count of feticide, and one count of kidnapping with bodily harm. In light of Hill's death, one of the aggravated assault charges is likely to be upgraded to murder.
