LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police have charged a 54-year-old man in connection with an incident where he kidnapped, assaulted and unlawfully confined his girlfriend.

LPS responded to a home on April 28 to check on the welfare of a woman inside and found that she had been severely beaten.

An investigation found the woman’s boyfriend visited her home on April 26 – contrary to previous conditions of recognizance to have no contact with her stemming from a domestic assault charge – forced her into his vehicle, threatened her and drove her to an RV.

Once inside the RV, police say the man proceeded to assault her, and the woman was confined to the RV for two days and was not provided with food or water afterwards.
