Nakia Holmes, the former co-owner of the Turkey Leg Hut, will not face criminal charges in the kidnapping-related case that led to her arrest last year.
According to Click2Houston, a Harris County grand jury returned a no-bill on April 10, clearing Holmes after finding there was not enough evidence to move forward.
According to authorities at the time, officers believed Saizon had been staying at Holmes’ property after allegedly kidnapping his ex-girlfriend, assaulting her with a tire iron, and holding her against her will for several hours.
Police claimed Holmes initially denied knowing where Saizon was and told officers no one else was at the house. Officers later said they saw Saizon jump a fence on the property.
But after reviewing the evidence, the grand jury declined to indict Holmes. No charges will be filed.
“This outcome confirms what I have maintained from the beginning,” Holmes said in a statement released on Friday, April 10. “I complied, provided the requested documentation, and trusted that a full and fair review would lead to the truth.”
Holmes also said she is considering additional legal action in the wake of the investigation.
“I’m thankful for those who stood by me,” she said. “My focus now is on my family, my businesses, and continuing to build.”
The outcome marks a significant turn for Holmes, whose name has remained tied to a long-running series of legal and financial issues surrounding the Turkey Leg Hut.
The restaurant became famous for its oversized stuffed turkey legs and drew celebrity customers, including Snoop Dogg, James Harden, Kevin Hart, and Megan Thee Stallion.
In recent years, however, the brand has been overshadowed by lawsuits, bankruptcy proceedings, and criminal cases involving both founders. The Turkey Leg Hut filed for bankruptcy in 2024 and closed later that year after losing its lease.
Court records later showed that more than $6.5 million in claims were discharged without payment.
Price, Holmes’ ex-husband and former business partner, remains in federal custody on separate charges connected to the 2020 firebombing of Bar 5015, a business owned by a former partner. Prosecutors have also added firearms charges to that case, and one co-defendant has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit arson.
Holmes, meanwhile, recently hinted on social media that she may attempt to revive the Turkey Leg Hut brand. In an Instagram video, she walked through storage units containing the restaurant’s trucks and equipment, referencing “a completely new look” and a possible “rebirth.”
