PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Port St. Lucie police are investigating a possible kidnapping after a woman told officers she was taken against her will by a family friend in Hollywood, Florida.
At about 9:16 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a Publix at 10400 Southwest Village Drive in Tradition, where the woman told employees she had been abducted and sexually assaulted.
She said the man stopped at the store during their trip, giving her a chance to ask a worker for help.
The Publix employee hid her in an office and called 911.
Officers took a man into custody at the scene and towed a white van the two had been traveling in.
The investigation is ongoing, and police say more information will be released on Monday.
