(WBIR-SEVIER COUNTY) A Sevier County man faces mutliple charges after investigators say he assaulted his estranged wife and kidnapped two young family members.

According to a press release from Sheriff Ron Seals, deputies were sent to a home on Rolen Road just after 8 am Friday to answer a domestic abuse call. As the first officer arrived, he had to jump out of the way of a car that came speeding from the driveway.

(WBIR-SEVIERVILLE) A series of sinkholes in Sevierville are growing, despite efforts to seal them off.
    
The city is asking the U.S. Geological Survey to help figure out what's causing the giant hole, and several smaller ones, that are threatening sewer lines.
    
The sinkholes are near the bridge where Collier Drive crosses Middle Creek. 
    
The city says they believe the bridge is sound, but the sinkholes likely threaten sewer lines.
