Officials with the United States Attorney’s Office report a Roberts man pled guilty to attempted kidnapping.  37-year-old Paul Theesfield–who was the water superintendent for the towns of Roberts and Elliot– was accused of hitting a woman with his car in December 2020. Ford County State’s Attorney Andrew Killian said Theesfield was accused of hitting her with the car to incapacitate her and sexually assault her.  Court officials said the Ford County Sheriff’s Office confiscated handcuffs, wire rope chokers, duct tape, an electric cattle prod and other items from the Roberts Water House.

Theesfield faces a maximum of 21 years in prison.
