HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 31-year-old man arrested by police in a domestic case was in court Friday morning where he was told of the potential charge against him.
Jose Luis Faudoa was taken to jail for suspicion of kidnapping after allegedly holding his ex-girlfriend against her will.
Police were called to the report of a woman screaming in the 300 block of East 7th. They ran into Faudoa after not being able to locate a woman screaming. He told police that his ex-girlfriend had broken a window in his home. After further investigation, they learned that he had brought the victim home from work and allegedly assaulted and beat her during that time. He also allegedly put a gun to her head, although he denied that in court. The victim also claims that he wouldn’t let her out of the bedroom of the home and repeatedly put the gun to her head. She told police she was in the bed with two children. She eventually broke a window and started screaming for help.
He was eventually arrested and taken to jail for suspicion of kidnapping. He appeared before Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen where he attempted through an interpreter to tell his side of things, but the judge advised him against it.
His bond is set at $100,000 and he’ll be back in court on Dec. 29 once the state files formal charges.
