Man Charged With Kidnapping After Tackling Partner Over Unapproved Texts

Riley George, 23, has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and domestic battery by strangulation.

The victim told police that around noon on August 29, her boyfriend George held her neck for an entire car ride before stopping on a dirt road and exiting to approach her side. George began yelling at the victim about text messages she received, and she ran away. 

George reportedly tackled the victim and forcefully restrained her. George continued to be physically aggressive while driving with the victim on Waldo Road. 

Later that night, George reportedly began yelling at the victim about infidelity and choked her until she lost consciousness twice. 

The victim reported the abuse two days later and still had visible bruising on her neck. 

George was arrested at his apartment Monday night.

George isn’t eligible for bond right now.
