Garden City, Kan.–Garden City Police arrested a man Thursday in connection to an aggravated kidnapping that occurred Monday night.
Shortly after 10 p.m. Monday, Officers were dispatched to the east part of town following reports of a battery in progress where a man was assaulting a woman in a car. Officers would subsequently locate the woman on the opposite side of town with visible injuries. Officers learned that the woman had given a ride to a man she knew, identified as 21-year-old Dominique Patrick. During the drive, an argument ensued between them, during which Patrick began hitting her. The victim stopped the car in the middle of the street, at which point Patrick allegedly pulled her by the hair into the backseat, took control of the vehicle, and continued assaulting her. Patrick then drove at high speeds across town, prompting multiple reckless driving complaints. Witnesses reported hearing the victim screaming for help. The victim was taken to St. Catherine Hospital for treatment of injuries. Patrick fled the scene in another vehicle before Officers arrived.
Thursday morning, Patrick was located and taken into custody. He was lodged in the Finney County Jail for Aggravated Kidnapping and Domestic Battery.
