An Arizona man faces multiple charges after his girlfriend told police she had escaped from a shed where he'd held her while assaulting her for several days.

Police received a 911 call late in the afternoon on July 2nd from a home in the neighborhood where

Wood was arrested in charge with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, sexual assault, criminal threats, assault, and aggravated assault.
