Former “Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads” star Timothy Zickuhr has just pled guilty to charges including kidnapping and extortion.
According to the criminal complaint filed against him, Zickuhr was charged with first-degree kidnapping, extortion and coercion, all stemming from a single incident which occurred just before Christmas last year. As stated in the arrest report filed by the Metro Police of Las Vegas, Zickuhr allegedly paid a prostitute known as “Snow White” for services using a credit card. He then claimed that she had charged him too much and arranged for her to meet him at his Las Vegas apartment where he held her against her will and demanded $1,000 from her.
Zickuhr then bound the woman with backpack straps, shoved her in a closet, and dumped a mop bucket full of water on her, then demanded phone numbers for anyone who would be able to pay the $1,000. Thinking quickly, she gave him the number of a police officer she knew. When Zickuhr called from her phone and demanded money, saying he’d kill her if he didn’t get paid. The officer played along and arranged a meet. When Zickuhr showed up to get paid, he was arrested.
After his arrest, Zickuhr admitted that he had planned to sell the woman’s services on Craigslist for his own benefit.
Zickuhr’s case was supposed to go to trial until he found out that new DNA evidence further implicated him in an incident that occurred while he was out on bail from the kidnapping charges where he robbed an 80-year-old woman of her purse, breaking her hip in the process.
His guilty plea will reduce his possible sentence from a maximum of life in prison to a maximum sentence of 6 to 15 years in prison. His sentencing will be held once he also pleads guilty to the robbery.
