HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 31-year-old man arrested by police in a domestic case appeared before a judge Tuesday morning where he was read the formal charge against him.
Jose Luis Faudoa has been formally charged with aggravated kidnapping, a level one person felony, with a maximum sentencing of over 54 years in prison if convicted.
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 the woman. 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. 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.
Faudoa remains jailed on a $100,000 bond and the case will now move to a waiver-status docket next month.
