DETROIT (WWJ) - A 23-year-old man has been arraigned on torture and attempted rape charges following an attack on a Detroit woman who he allegedly burned with a blow torch.
Roderick Neely was arraigned Saturday and ordered held without bond pending his next court date. Neely also is charged with unlawful imprisonment, assault with intent to maim, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, felon in possession and felony firearm.
The charges stem from a incident that happened around 2 a.m. Wednesday in a blighted neighborhood near Plymouth and Meyers on the city’s west side. The 43-year-old victim told police she was leaving a gas station when a man came up behind her, put a gun to her head and forced her into a car. The woman said her attacker drove for a short time before parking the car. He then allegedly ripped off her clothing and began burning her with a blow torch.
Police said the victim was able to escape and call for help after stabbing her attacker in the eye with a screwdriver. She remains hospitalized in stable condition.
“It was the victim’s unwavering desire to survive that gave her the strength to overcome her attacker. Throughout the investigative process, the victim remained steadfast in her sense of duty to ensure that this criminal was taken off the streets, ending his reign of terror for all women in and around the city of Detroit,” police said in a statement.

Did she get her screwdriver back?
Detroit police chief Craig has a surprisingly conservative common sense solution to such things.
Unlike Chicago, law abiding Detroit citizens can and do get ccw permits. I hope she upgrades that screwdriver to at least a 9mm.
It's part of the Republican's "War On Women." Mr. Neely must be a member of the GOP.
Of course, the article doesn't mentions his political party in the first few words of the story, which militates against my theory.
Is another Kwanzaa holiday in the making?
They can even get some Detroit made gun accessories from the new Detroit Gun Works.
he’ll be a CULT figure in prison
Every law enforcement officer I have ever heard about abductions says DO ANYTHING, BUT DO NOT GET IN THE CAR, EVER.
Having said that, I am NOT blaming the woman. No one knows what they will do in a situation like that till it happens.My comment was merely a reminder.
My prayers are with this poor victim. she will have more than physical trauma for sure.
Yup. Even if he threatens to kill you if you don’t get in the car. If you do, he’ll kill you anyway. At least if you don’t get in you have a chance of getting away.
No he won’t He’ll be another face in the crowd. there are too many truly flaky criminals in the system now. I could tell you stories...

I figured his use of a Blow Torch might qualify em...
Too bad they don't have one with the screwdriver sticking in his eye.
After they are sure they got the right man and he’s convicted, they should give each of his victims a blow torch and let them at him.
