A Russellville woman is charged with kidnapping and second-degree assault for beating a 59-year-old man with a stick and holding him captive for three days last week.
Susan Carney, 51, admitted to authorities that she beat the man, a relative, after he put his genitals in her face.
As of Monday afternoon, she was being held on $75,000 bond in the Cole County Jail.
A Cole County Sheriff's Department probable cause statement shows authorities were called to a residence in the 11200 block of Jones Road Friday.
There they found the man lying on his back with two swollen eyes.
The victim told authorities Carney was a relative of his and living in the home with him.
Carney admitted to hitting the man in the face with her fist, but when authorities told her they didn't believe she had done that much damage with her fist, Carney admitted to beating the man with a stick.
Eventually authorities found that Carney taped the man in a chair, did not feed him and beat him repeatedly.
The victim had multiple abrasions on his chest, legs and groin area.
