A man faces felony charges after he allegedly held his wife hostage for nearly two weeks, stringing her up by the throat with a zip tie and confining her in dark closet.

The suspect, Erik Thomas Dunn, 38, is charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault. He is being held under $120,000 bond awaiting arraignment on Oct. 25. He could face over 25 years in prison if convicted of the pair of offenses.

According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, the incident for which he is charged dates back to ten days in July when he allegedly held his wife after her will, terrorizing and brutalizing her during the ordeal.

“He zip tied her hands and throat,” the sheriff reported of the 10 days of terror suffered by the woman. “He also confined her to a closet.”

The sheriff noted that the victim in the case suffered serious bodily injury as result of the incidents.

“The zip tie placed around her neck caused her to pass out,” the sheriff revealed, noting Dunn also employed a knife to cut his wife’s left arm and an arrow to injure her foot. “He hit her multiple times with a closet rod.”

Dunn was under bond conditions at the time of the incidents, meaning he had been ordered by the court to stay away from his wife.
