Man Charged With Kidnapping at Home of WWE's Sonya Deville

A man was arrested Sunday and charged with kidnapping a resident of Lutz, Fla., that he had been stalking on social media for years, according to Kavitha Surana of the Tampa Bay Times.

The name of the victim was not released, but the home where the arrest was made is owned by WWE star Sonya Deville, whose real name is Daria Berenato. The suspect, 24-year-old Phillip A. Thomas II from South Carolina, had reportedly planned the kidnapping for eight months.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Thomas entered the home around midnight by cutting a hole in the patio screen, then entered through a sliding glass door around 2:43 a.
