Cops in Florida have arrested a man who allegedly held a woman captive for more than two months and beat her with a wooden baseball bat and flathead screwdriver.

Walter Medina, 48, picked up the woman, who was panhandling in the area of Hillsborough Avenue and Habana Avenue in the Tampa area, in January. Initially Medina provided the victim with food and drugs, but the ordeal soon turned violent and terrifying, cops say. Medina subjected the woman to “months of relentless physical abuse and captivity,” the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
