A father-of-three accused of kidnapping his girlfriend, shackling her inside a shed and sexually abusing her for two weeks has been released from jail.
Timothy Wood, 36, was arrested on July 2 after his girlfriend appeared at a neighbor’s home covered in cuts and bruises, police said.
She told investigators she had been held captive, beaten with an electrical chord and even stuffed into a crawl space for two days.
The alleged victim said she managed to escape after two weeks by fleeing through an unlocked door.
The Phoenix Police Department responded to a 911 call from the neighbor and arrested Wood for aggravated assault, sexual assault, felony kidnapping, and unlawful imprisonment.
But he has since been released from jail after the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office requested that police obtain additional evidence.
