Man charged with holding woman captive

A 21-year-old Crescentville man has been charged with holding a woman against her will in his Godfrey Avenue home.

Police said the 22-year-old woman walked into a dentist’s office on the 500 block of East Godfrey Ave. on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. and said she had been abducted.

The woman told police she had gone to an acquaintance’s house on that block on Oct. 16 and that the man, identified as Leon Stewart, 21, would not let her leave. Eventually, she was able to get away from the man and went to the office.

Stewart was charged with unlawful restraint, false imprisonment and related offenses. ••
