Police found a woman with severe injuries locked in a vehicle’s trunk in southeast Portland Saturday morning. Authorities later arrested a man on four felony charges in connection to the incident, according to a news release.

Detectives arrested Jarod Scott Bowman, 36, for domestic violence assault, domestic violence strangulation, kidnapping and coercion, according to the news release.

Just before 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Portland police responded to a report of a possible kidnapping near Southeast 105th Avenue and Southeast Division Street, police said. They found the woman, who had severe injuries, locked inside the trunk of a car.

When investigators discovered that the alleged kidnapping began in Multnomah County on Northwest Logie Trail Road, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office took over the investigation and later arrested Bowman.

The woman’s injuries are not life threatening and she was treated in a nearby hospital, according to the news release.

Court records show that Bowman has other ongoing felony charges in Multnomah County Circuit Court, a prior felony conviction and a prior domestic violence conviction.

In 2018, he was convicted for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge that resulted in a Multnomah County Circuit Court no-contact order with that victim.

In October, Bowman was convicted for felony unlawful use of a weapon after busting into a man’s apartment and holding a gun to the man’s head while verbally threatening to “blow his head off,” court documents allege.

In November, Bowman was indicted in Multnomah County Circuit Court on six other charges, including driving under the influence, reckless driving, felony attempting to flee and aggravated harassment. He allegedly flipped his Jeep Cherokee in a crash while speeding away from a patrol car that tried to pull him over, court documents show. A test at a hospital showed his alcohol blood level was .204% and he later allegedly spit on a police officer and bit a hospital security guard, according to court documents. He entered a plea of not guilty for all six charges on Nov. 13.

Bowman is being held in the Multnomah County Detention Center. His combined bail is $515,000, jail records show.
