Utah man charged with kidnapping after holding girlfriend's family hostage for months, police say
A Utah man is facing a slew of assault and kidnapping charges after allegedly holding his girlfriend and her family hostage for approximately six months under the false pretenses that members of the cartel were after them, police say.
Dominic Garcia, 23, was arrested on Saturday and charged with 28 counts, most of them felonies, in connection with the alleged hostage situation involving seven people. He is being held at the Salt Lake County Jail, and it is unclear if he has retained an attorney.
Couple set to go on trial over staged cross burning in front of campaign sign for Black candidate
In the run-up to the 2023 mayoral election in Colorado Springs, a racial slur was scrawled across a Black candidate’s sign and a cross set on fire in front of it.
It was a stunt to generate sympathy and support for the Black candidate, Yemi Mobolade, prosecutors have said, but two people accused of staging it are set to go on trial Monday, charged with making a threat against him.
