A man was charged in Audrain County after he allegedly dragged a woman from her home, pulled her into a vehicle and assaulted her on Sunday morning.
Lane Miles, 21, of Auxvasse, was charged with first-degree burglary, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree domestic assault and misdemeanor second-degree property damage. He is being held at the Audrain County Jail without bond. A mugshot was not immediately available. A confined docket hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday.
The probable cause statement says a witness saw Miles pull the victim out of a home in Mexico, Missouri, around 2 a.m. Sunday. Miles allegedly dragged the victim by her hair down the stairs of the home and pulled her into a car before leaving, the statement says.
The victim later knocked on the door of the home and was let back in before Miles kicked the door in and forced the woman, again, into the vehicle, the statement says.
The victim allegedly told law enforcement that Miles was not invited into the home, but arrived anyways and pulled her out by her ankles, the statement says. The victim was afraid of what Miles would do if she did not get in the vehicle, the statement says. Miles allegedly choked the victim while he drove the vehicle, but the victim was able to hit the “start/stop” button of the vehicle to turn it off, the statement says. She then began honking the horn of the vehicle and eventually got away the first time, the statement says. Miles then returned to the home and kicked the door in, according to court documents.
