Two men have been arrested and accused of kidnapping a woman Tuesday and taking her to an abandoned house on Springdale Road, according to authorities.
Freddie Maxwell and Devon Booker were both charged with first-degree aggravated kidnapping after authorities saw the woman physically struggle with the men before they took her into the house, an affidavit says.
Police moved quickly to detain the two men thinking an assault was about to occur. Once detained, the men denied anyone else being in the house, and Maxwell said his family owned the home. Officers did find the woman who appeared to be highly intoxicated and briefly fought with the officers, who were able to restrain and calm the woman down.
She was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center for treatment.
Both men initially claimed to be related, the affidavit says.
When police interviewed the men neither of them could tell officers the woman’s name.
By the end of the investigation, the affidavit says, both acted together to take the woman from AN area near Givens Park, “with little regard for who witnessed it.”
The men are being held in Travis County Jail on $75,000 bond.
