BOISE, Idaho — Boise Police Department announced Tuesday they have arrested a man who they believe kidnapped two people, holding them against their will in a home for several hours.
Craig Stevenson, 30, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, resisting and obstructing arrest and two charges of kidnapping.
BPD said in a release they responded to a hospitalized man who said he was stabbed -- officers learned he and another woman were kidnapped and held in a home near Warm Springs Avenue for hours. The two were later able to escape and the man is in stable condition.
Following a brief description of the suspect, police found Stevenson -- but he began to run, BPD said. Officers arrested him and discovered he had a knife.
Stevenson is currently being held at the Ada County Jail.
“I am grateful my officers were able to safely take a violent subject into custody in this case. All officers and BPD Crime Lab personnel investigating this incident performed admirably under difficult circumstances, ultimately apprehending a dangerous felon who had only recently been released from prison when he committed this violent act,” BPD Chief Ron Winegar said.
