CALEDONIA TOWNSHIP, MI -- A Chesaning man is in custody after a Craigslist date allegedly led to a woman screaming for help as she was tied up in his car, according to police.

The 41-year-old man, whose identity has not been released because he has not been arraigned on any charges, was arrested around 3:20 a.m. Wednesday, May 13, after he was stopped by Michigan State Police troopers in Shiawassee County for suspicion of drunken driving.

Lt. David Kaiser said troopers were patrolling on North State Road near Copas Road, just north of Corunna, when they spotted the suspect's vehicle.

As troopers approached the vehicle to make contact with the driver, Kaiser said a woman's voice could be heard calling for help.

A 22-year-old Okemos woman was found in the front passenger seat of the vehicle with a bag over her head, her mouth taped and her hands zip-tied behind her back, Kaiser said.

Troopers investigated the situation and learned the pair first made contact recently on Craigslist, according to Kaiser.

Kaiser said the man was searching for a submissive-type woman and began a relationship with the victim. However, the man allegedly used a fake email address and sent the woman a fake name with fake pictures, he said.

When the woman met the suspect near his Chesaning home, Kaiser said she realized the man wasn't who she thought he was and attempted to end the date.

But, the man's demeanor changed as he allegedly tied up the victim and held her against her will, Kaiser said. The victim was not injured during the incident, police said.

The suspect was lodged at the Shiawassee County Jail on suspicion of kidnapping and assault by strangulation, he said.

The incident remains under investigation.
