The suspect is charged in connection with an incident on Cunningham Road on July 3.

After some time, the suspect did allow the victim to leave.
The accused has been charged with forcible confinement, robbery, uttering threats and seven counts of failing to comply with a release order, in addition to three charges related to the traffic stop.
Following the incident, a search of the vehicle uncovered an imitation firearm, a Taser and spring-loaded knife. The other four occupants including the driver were also arrested.
