Dereck James Harrison is a Centerville, Utah native and the 22 year old son ofFlint Wayne Harrison[4].
Allegations
On May 11, 2016, Dereck and his father, Flint, were charged with 10 counts of first-degree felony aggravated kidnapping, among other offenses. Considered armed and dangerous, both individuals have eluded capture by law enforcement.[4].
The incident began when Dereck and his father extended an invitation to a mother and her four daughters, aged 13, 15, 17, and 18, to a barbecue at their residence located at 190 N. 700 East in Centerville, Utah.
Upon arrival, the victims were forcibly confined to the basement by Flint Wayne Harrison, who wielded a gun, and Dereck, who brandished a baseball bat.
The perpetrators used zip ties to restrain the girls, who managed to break free and scream for help.
During their escape, the girls were subjected to physical assault with baseball bats, resulting in injuries severe enough to hospitalize one of the daughters and the mother.
The suspects were last seen driving a 2011 silver Chevrolet Suburban bearing a Wyoming license plate reading “AR83G.” Both Dereck and his father have connections to the Pinedale, Wyoming area.
