MONROE, N.C. (WBTV/Gray News) – A woman in North Carolina is accused of locking her boyfriend in a storage unit for several days last week.
Police helped free the man Monday, after having been in the unit for four days.
Investigators said the man’s girlfriend, Robin Deaton, locked him in the storage unit following an argument between the couple.
“It’s a shock, considering we work across the street, and we didn’t know this poor man was in the building literally suffering. Not knowing, that’s scary,” said Lindsay Champion, who works across the street.
The man was able to call for help after he found his phone inside the storage unit, the owner of the facility told WBTV. It wasn’t immediately clear how the man lost his phone, but the storage unit was reportedly dark and crowded.
Monroe police officers said the man is doing fine and was able to talk to investigators.
Authorities are still searching for Deaton who is facing an attempted murder charge and a first-degree kidnapping charge.
