BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) A man accused of holding another man in a dog cage against his will at a West Virginia home has been arrested, police said.
On Saturday evening, a witness told Beckley police that the unidentified male victim appeared to be badly beaten, according to a statement released Monday by Lt. David S. Allard.
Court documents say the witness also saw three men threaten to kill the victim if he didn’t give them a large amount of money, WVNS-TV reported.
Much of the video that the witness provided to police wasn’t able to be seen, the station said, but three people could be heard taunting the victim.
