A Drain man was jailed on kidnapping charges on Monday.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said at 9:45 a.m. a deputy responded to a residence in the 700 block of Laurel Hill Drive in the Drain area. During an altercation a victim called 911 asking for law enforcement, claiming that 56-year-old Gordon Gave would not allow her to leave the property or hadn’t let her call police for help.

The report said during this time Gave allegedly damaged property that did not belong to him as well. Gave was charged with second-degree kidnapping, coercion, interfering with a police officer, second-degree criminal mischief, and menacing. Gave was transported to corrections and detained on $10,000 bail.
