She had been accused of threatening to kill an alleged kidnapping and rape victim in October last year. 45-year-old Tina Frederick had also been charged with witness intimidation and lying to detectives from the Calhoun County Sheriff Department.
Two 34-year-old men from Battle Creek, William Google, and Damon Durden were also charged in the case after a 28-year-old woman said she was taken to an apartment in Springfield and assaulted.
