Franklin Man Assaults, Zip-Ties Ex-Girlfriend: Police

FRANKLIN, TN -- Residents of Franklin's Laurelwood Condominiums awakened by a woman's screams early Saturday morning found a bizarre scene in their complex's parking lot.

The woman, according to police, was being held down after her wrists were zip-tied by 29-year-old Randall Murphy, with whom she'd had a previous relationship. Murphy, who lives in the complex, allegedly told his neighbors that he is a police officer.

He is not.

The woman underwent surgery for the injuries to her wrist caused by the restraints.

Murphy was arrested and charged with especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault and criminal impersonation.
