Indiana man accused of holding girlfriend captive for 3 days arrested
A man in Jennings County who is accused of holding a woman against her will for several days has been arrested.
James Helton's girlfriend said he held her captive for three days. She told WLKY she only managed to get away Thursday when she told her boyfriend she needed to go to a friend's house for medicine.
Helton was taken into custody at 3 a.m. Saturday at a home in Seymour, according to the Jennings County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.
Seymour Police received information on Helton's whereabouts and a perimeter was set up around the home.
Authorities said SWAT was on the scene for several hours, attempting to call Helton out of the residence.
Officials said Helton eventually came out of the residence without incident and was taken into custody.
Helton was taken to the Jennings County Jail.
