53-year-old Jeffrey Leon Holley is accused of kidnapping a woman for the second time, according to Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson.
Deputies were called Saturday around 9:30 p.m. by a person in the Pace area, according to the sheriff. The person reported that they had attempted to call one of their neighbors, but they didn’t answer.
That person was also concerned because they allegedly witnessed a man walk from the neighbor’s house to their truck, grab zip ties, and go back into the home.
Sheriff Johnson said deputies arrived at the home and heard a woman yelling for help before they kicked in the door.
They found the woman with her hands and feet duct taped so tight that they were purple, and her face was bruised, according to the sheriff.
Deputies reportedly found the suspect, now identified as Holley, running from the home.
He allegedly jumped a fence onto Naval property and refused to listen to deputy commands, which led to him being bitten by a K9, according to authorities.
Sheriff Johnson said Holley was previously arrested for the same crime and spent two years in prison.
Holley is charged with third-degree felony domestic violence – strangulation, first-degree felony kidnapping – inflicting bodily harm, first-degree felony hindering communication to law enforcement, third-degree felony burglary to unoccupied convenience, third-degree felony domestic violence – battery and first-degree misdemeanor resist arrest without violence.
