Police arrested a 26-year-old Madison man who allegedly kidnapped and abducted a woman he had a past romantic relationship with Tuesday.
According to the police incident report, the woman found Joshua Humbach, 26, in her apartment on the city's north side Tuesday afternoon.
""He robbed her, stole her phone, bound her hands and forced her into her own car,"" Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.
Police said Humbach then rented a room at the Red Roof Inn on Hayes Road. The victim's family members told police about her disappearance, and DeSpain said officers used her cell phone to locate the area where she was being held.
After they found the victim's car at the hotel, authorities arrested Humbach at gunpoint shortly after midnight. Police said they found the victim bound and gagged on the room's bed and also discovered a loaded handgun in the room.
""She says the suspect struck her in the head with a gun, choked her and repeatedly threatened to kill her during the more than 7-hour ordeal,"" DeSpain said.
