A Soldotna man is in custody after troopers say he kidnapped and assaulted a female at a residence off the Kenai Spur Highway.
On Thursday, Oct. 16, Alaska State Troopers and Central Emergency Services responded to a report of disturbance at the Soldotna residence at around 12:45 p.m. and were able to locate the person who reported the incident, according to an online AST dispatch posted Tuesday,
Further investigation by troopers revealed that 47-year-old Charles Brady had assaulted a female at the residence for “several days.” Troopers say Brady took the female’s phone and would not allow her to leave.
Brady left the residence before authorities arrived. With the help of the Soldotna Police Department, Brady was located around 2:30 p.m. at another residence in Soldotna and taken into custody.
The female suffered serious physical injuries and was transported to Central Peninsula Hospital for treatment, troopers say.
Brady was transported to Wildwood Pretrial Facility where he was held without bail. According to dispatch, he was charged with kidnapping, two counts of second-degree assault, one count of fourth-degree assault and interfering with a report of a domestic-violence crime.
Attempts to retrieve charging documents from the Kenai court clerk’s office Tuesday were unsuccessful.
