Three people were arrested in Kenai this week on kidnapping and assault charges after allegedly detaining and torturing a couple, in an ordeal which police say ended with the male victim escaping to find help.
All three suspects -- 31-year-old Alex Hawkins of Anchorage, and Kenai residents Kami Wright, 28, and Kenny Kitchen, 25 -- were charged with kidnapping and third-degree assault in the case, Kenai Police said in a statement. Hawkins and Kitchen face additional counts of first-degree sexual assault; Wright is also charged with misconduct involving weapons and controlled substances, as well as theft.
