Turkey Leg Hut Founder Nakia Holmes Arrested, Accused Of Hiding Ex-Boyfriend Wanted In Houston A$$ault & Kidnapping Case
The #TurkeyLegHut has another scandal to add to its resume.
Nakia Holmes, founder of the now-closed infamous #Houston restaurant, was arrested on Oct. 15 and charged with hindering the apprehension or prosecution of a known felon. Authorities allege that Holmes assisted Johnathan Saizon, her ex-boyfriend, who was wanted for aggravated kidnapping and a$$ault. According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Holmes misled deputies by denying that Saizon was at her residence, even though he was seen fleeing from the property. Holmes is accused of passing a message to Saizon that prompted his escape. She was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday (Oct. 17).
According to court records, on Oct. 8, Saizon allegedly kidnapped a woman, said to be his ex, and a$$aulted her with a tire iron. The victim’s son told the authorities that Saizon “held her against her will for six hours.” Saizon is currently in jail. He faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony, and aggravated a$$ault of a family member, a second-degree felony.
