Woman says man kidnapped her

WARREN

An Ashtabula County woman, 59, said she was kidnapped for two days starting Monday afternoon and forced to stay in a man’s apartment in the Reeves Building, 295 W. Market St.

She said she and the man were at a friend’s house on Oak Street Southwest when the male asked for a ride to the store. She took him there, and he asked her to come up to his apartment for a drink. Once in the apartment, he accused her of owing him money and threatened to hurt her. He threatened to beat her every time she got up to leave for two days, she said.

On Thursday, she got up to leave and he grabbed her by the shirt and started to pull it off and demanded sex, but she escaped and met up with friends who talked her into filing a police report.

The woman was advised to see the Warren prosecutor if she wanted to file charges.
