Kearns • Police have arrested a Utah man who they say kidnapped his ex-girlfriend and held her hostage for several days in his basement.
Records show 42-year-old Oscar Martinez-Perez was booked into the Salt Lake County jail early Saturday on suspicion of aggravated kidnapping.
Unified Police say they received a call on Aug. 29 from the victim’s brother who believed she was being held against her will.
Police located the woman walking on the street in Kearns. She told officers that Martinez-Perez had kidnapped her about four days ago and held against her will in his basement apartment before she escaped.
