Six Ohio residents have been accused by prosecutors of holding a man captive for a week, beating him with a metal bat, and other “extremely disturbing” crimes.

Aaron Bradshaw, 49, Austin Bradshaw, 23, Chance Johnston, 27, David Cessna, 26, Martina Esqueda (aka Martina Jones), 28, and Michael Esqueda, 28, face felony charges of kidnapping to terrorize or to inflict serious physical harm and are being held at the Lucas County Corrections Center on $200,000. In an arrest warrant for Aaron Bradshaw, police stated that the unnamed victim was allegedly kidnapped on March 14 and held against his will for a week. During that time, the six defendants allegedly restrained the man, beat the victim with “his hands and a metal bat,” and made him “stand for extended periods of time.”
