A Jackson man made a court appearance, Wednesday accused of kidnapping, last week.
 
Tavaris Massey, 22 was charged with aggravated kidnapping his child's mother on Halloween.  The woman told authorities Massey forced her into his vehicle that morning and took the park in the area of Lincoln Courts and assaulted her several times and threatened to shoot her if she tried to get out of the car. She was treated for her injuries at a Jackson hospital as officers said she had severe swelling around her face and neck. 
 
 Massey is being held in lieu of $30,000 bond and will return to court, next week.
