HIBBING, Minn. – Two women are facing charges in Hibbing for allegedly kidnapping a man and then assaulting him for three days.
According to the criminal complaint, on Monday morning, Hibbing Police responded to a gas station after a staff member called 911 to report a man who walked in, stating he had been kidnapped.
The victim told police 45-year-old Corrine Starc and 39-year-old Shelly Goerdt, both from Iron, invited him to the house last Friday, then held him at gunpoint while they restrained him with duct tape, plastic wrap, a rope, and a chain. They then used a Taser on him several times on different parts of his body.
He was able to get his hands free by untying the ropes and chains and fled the house while it was still dark out. The victim said he then hid in a garage because the two women drove around in a van looking for him. He hid until he felt safe enough to go to the gas station for help.
The women are facing charges of kidnapping, second-degree assault, false imprisonment, and threats of violence charges.
