Police say an Ohio woman has been accused of ordering five men who kidnapped and tortured a 26-year-old with a general relationship.
Martina Jones, 28, and her lover Aaron Bradshaw, 49; Austin Bradshaw, 23; David Cessna, 26; Michael Esqueda, 28; Chance Johnston, 27, was arrested and faced multiple charges.
Jones has multiple children with several of her partners.
Police believe the victim was kidnapped on March 14 and violated his will for more than a week in Red Roof Inn, Mommy, Ohio.
During this period, the suspect allegedly defeated the victim with a baseball bat, leaving him standing for a long time and only allowed him to eat once a day. The victim only slept for about 10 hours in 7 days.
“In a week, he was essentially tortured, beaten,” said Mommy Police Chief Josh Sprow. “His injury was the result of being hit by a baseball bat, fist, elbow hit, stomped on him while he was on the ground, which over time led to multiple fractured bones.”
Sproul continued that the suspect sometimes lets the victim out, which ultimately brought the police attention to the situation.
On March 21, the victim was allowed to leave the room to go to the track convenience store, police said.
“When he was there, he contacted a person who was in touch with the victim’s mother,” Sprou said.
The 26-year-old mother runs for the Red Roof Inn to help her son. Momi police officer was called to the hotel. Police obtained a warrant and began watching the hotel, where six suspects were later arrested.
Police said the victim was taken to the hospital and was expected to survive, but he suffered a physical injury.
It is not clear whether the victim knows the suspect or whether the crime was accused of being random.
The charging documents did not disclose the reasons for the alleged kidnapping or possible motives.
The police chief said early investigations showed that the woman, Martina Jones, was shot in the kidnapping and assault.
Police said Jones ordered the men to beat and beat the victims.
Investigators determined that she had a romantic relationship with five male suspects and had multiple children.
“When you have multiple adult men in relationships with women, it’s obviously a weird situation, and then the whole felony attack/kidnapping happened. It’s definitely not what’s usually happening in our city,” Sprow said.
The police chief said the group planned to flee the area, but police arrested them before they had the chance to take off.
The suspects faced a judge on Monday, whose charges were Toledo. The judge set its deposit at $200,000 per person.
All six were indicted by a grand jury on Thursday. Each of them was charged with one kidnapping, three counts of felony assault and two counts of tampering.
