PINE HILLS, Fla. - Four people were arrested after a woman was kidnapped, tied up and put in a dog cage in Orange County over the weekend, according to deputies.
The woman in her 40s was taken and held against her will in an attempt to get information from her about a potential stolen item, according to an arrest affidavit.
She managed to escape and ran to a nearby home for help, deputies said. She had minor injuries.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested four suspects: 37-year-old Monica Latresis Reed, 19-year-old Damon Andrew Tromp, 21-year-old Kevin Rudolph Holmes and 39-year-old Cortez Marenzo Bernard Jackson. They all are facing charges of armed kidnapping and false imprisonment with a weapon.
Reed is facing an additional charge of aggravated battery with a firearm for pistol whipping the victim, deputies said.
According to the affidavit, on Saturday, the suspects kidnapped the woman, duct taped her hands, feet and mouth and put her in a dog cage inside the shed behind a house near Barnett Place and Emeralda Road in Pine Hills.
Around 2 p.m, deputies responded after the woman knocked on a neighbor's door begging for help, saying she had been held captive at a nearby home.
The suspects were arrested following a six-hour standoff.
Tromp, Holmes, and Jackson appeared before a judge Sunday where they were read their charges.
Reed is set to have her first court appearance Monday morning.

Is it them again, Yogi?
The usual suspects strike again.
Yes Yogi, it’s them.
A stockade, or something similar in nature to what the Viet Cong or NVA put POWs into would be a suitable punishment.
In a way, kind of similar to when Tookie Williams saw himself on a TV screen after shooting a convenience store clerk (the store had CCTV). He responded by shooting the TV screen.
Kind of tough on the reporter though.
Why is it always them, Yogi?
Pine Hills?
There are no hills in central/south Florida, I mean, outside of the interstate overpasses... Must be fake news.
Police booking them had to have their eyes bleached afterwards.
Actually, there are some hills in Florida. Not large hills, but hills just the same.
“Her name was Bertha Butt...One of the Butt Sisters!”
In the North/ Panhandle, yes, but no hills is in Central and South Florida.
The use of “hills” in Florida developments comes from 1920s scammers who thought it would attract northern buyers. They’d actually tell the drivers of tour cars to speed up/slow down as if they were going up and down hills.
Anyway, always cracks me up to see a Florida town called “Hills” Just a scam.

Expect to see a lot more of this as police and prosecutors refuse to enforce the law.
The Gorgeous Mosaic for sure.
Potential stolen item?
It’s drugs she didn’t pay for.
