Police in Texas arrested a pair accused of kidnapping an 18-year-old woman and holding her captive for about a month, officials said Monday.
The victim escaped on Sunday night, Harris County Constable Mark Herman said. The suspects had left the home for a short time, giving the woman a brief window to escape.Deputies with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office got a 911 call about a woman in distress running from house to house in the Foxwood subdivision. Deputies arrived within minutes and the woman told them she'd been held captive for weeks and had just escaped.
While deputies waited for medical workers to arrive, they got information from the woman about which house she'd been held in, officials said. Deputies arrested Jose Reyes and Jaqueline Macias on kidnapping charges. They were booked into the Harris County Jail.The woman was taken to a hospital for evaluation and medical testing, Herman said. Based on her initial statements, police will likely file additional charges against Reyes and Macias.
Investigators are still awaiting the results of medical tests on the woman to determine exact charges. "The whole script flipped like almost immediately and she was immediately held captive," Herman said.
