Arrest Made In Torture Case
KENTUCKY...
Louisville-area police have made a second arrest in a case in which a man was allegedly hung upside down in a basement and beaten and cut for several hours. St. Matthews police arrested 30-year-old Sharinah Hickman on Sunday as she was hiding in the basement of the house where the alleged torture occurred in May. Police Detective Larry Alvey says Hickman was charged with accessory to kidnapping and assault. Police believe Hickman drove Dante Watts to the home of Eric Woods, Watts' cousin, then took Woods back to Watts' home in St. Matthews. Police say that Watts allegedly bound his cousin's hands and ankles, hung him upside down in his basement and then beat and cut him for several hours. Police suspect the alleged torture was due to missing drug money. Woods later escaped and was treated for his injuries.
