WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The woman who was seen being taken by force on a Ring doorbell camera has been found safe, and a 22-year-old man was arrested in the case, according to the Wichita Police Department.
Around 3 p.m. Tuesday, investigators received a phone call from a woman who said she was the woman seen being taken in the video. Officers are now interviewing her.
Police said the 35-year-old woman lives in the area where the video was recorded. They believe this was a case of domestic violence involving her boyfriend. She did not suffer any significant injuries.
“We want to thank the public for sharing the video and still images that generated additional attention about this incident, we do believe it led the female to call us saying she was the person we were looking for,” WPD said in a news release.
Around 7 p.m., WPD’s Domestic Intervention and Violence Reduction Team located and arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with the case.
He was booked into Sedgwick County Jail for charges of aggravated battery, strangulation, two counts of domestic simple battery, and criminal restraint. The case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney for formal charging consideration.
Police said there is no danger to the public.
The investigation is ongoing.
