Six individuals have been detained following allegations of kidnapping and torturing a man with a metal bat in an Ohio hotel room, a case that prosecutors have labeled as “extremely disturbing.”
A grand jury has charged Martina Esqueda Jones, 28; Michael Esqueda, 28; Aaron Bradshaw, 49; Austin Bradshaw, 23; Chance Johnston, 27; and David Cessna, 26, with felony kidnapping with intent to terrorize or cause serious physical harm, as per court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.
According to an arrest warrant, the accused allegedly began restraining a man against his will on March 14 and inflicted torture upon him at a Red Roof Inn located in Maumee, Ohio.
The Toledo County Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Jones is reportedly in a polygamous relationship with Johnston, Cessna and Austin Bradshaw, while also married to Esqueda, according to the Kansas City Star.
However, three of the defendants – Martina Jones, Michael Esqueda and David Cessna – are facing additional charges in Maumee Municipal Court. Jones is charged with second-degree felonious assault and domestic violence to a household member, Esqueda is charged with second-degree felonious assault and Cessna is charged with second-degree domestic violence.
The six defendants are expected to be arraigned on felony charges on April 3 and are currently being held without bond, according to the Lucas County Clerk of Courts.
Attorneys for five out of six of the defendants did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. An attorney for one defendant said his client had been indicted but declined to comment further.
