The victim’s mother reported that she spoke to her daughter on the phone, but that she sounded “drugged” and had no idea how she got to Antioch.
LIVERMORE — A local resident has been arrested and charged with holding his girlfriend against her will and assaulting her with a knife, after the victim’s mother reported to police that her daughter had been kidnapped, court records show.
It all started on Aug. 21, when the victim’s mother reported that her daughter had been the victim of a kidnapping. The mother told police that her daughter was nowhere to be found, but later spoke to her on the phone, police said. During the call, the young woman reportedly sounded “drugged” and claimed to be in Antioch, but had no idea how she’d ended up there.
The preliminary hearing — where prosecutors will present evidence to a judge and ask for the charges to be upheld — was initially set for Friday, but has been postponed. The man’s next court date is on Sept. 18, records show.
