Tim Zickuhr of History Channel's Ice Road Truckers has been charged with three felonies according to TMZ. Zickuhr allegedly kidnapped a Las Vegas prostitute and forced her to jump out of a two story window. The charges Zickuhr faces, according to court documents, are first-degree kidnapping, extortion, and coercion.
TMZ reports that the police report for the incident says that the prostitute, who is refereed to as Snow White, admitted to police that Zickuhr hired her to perform services on December 18th.
Snow White says she was given Zickuhr's ATM card to withdraw a payment, but that later, he got incensed, and claimed she took too much. The following day Zickuhr arranged a meeting to settle the dispute and he proceeded to physically and verbally assault her.
Snow White claims to have been tied up with backpack straps, beaten, to have had water from a mop bucket poured on her, and then locked her in his closet while Zickuhr demanded a phone number for someone who would be able to get him his money.
Snow White then outwitted the attacker:
Stroke of genius from Snow White -- she gave Tim the phone number of a police officer she knew ... and according to the report, Tim actually called it, claiming he'd kill Snow White if $1,000 wasn't delivered to him.
Tim and the officer arranged a meeting -- but rather than leave his apartment through the front door, Tim allegedly forced Snow White out his second story window.
Long story short, the cop met Tim and immediately arrested him. The officer claims Tim sang like a canary, admitting everything ... placing the phone calls, dousing Snow White in water, locking her in a closet, and pushing her out a window. Just ... crazy.
Zickuhr is scheduled to appear in court in May.
