Iowa police arrested a man after he allegedly kidnapped a woman and forced her to watch “Roots” a 1977 TV miniseries about slavery in America. Robert Lee Noye, 52, was arrested earlier this week according to The Gazette. Noye forced the victim to watch the nine-hour historical minseries about slavery in the U.S. through the post-Civil War era “so she could better understand her racism” according to the police report.

The report said Noye told the victim he would “kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago” if she didn’t sit and watch the series. The newspaper reported that Noye is being charged with first-degree harassment and false imprisonment.
