A man accused of holding a woman hostage for nearly a year was arrested and charged with kidnapping after the alleged victim managed to flee their residence to a gas station, authorities said.
James Parrillo Jr., 57, was arrested on Feb. 7 in Burlington County, New Jersey after the woman he allegedly kidnapped escaped from the residence they shared, according to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office and New Jersey State Police.
The woman reportedly told police she first met Parrillo — whom she knew by the name Brett Parker — at a gas station in New Mexico in February 2022 and agreed to give him a ride to Arizona, prosecutors said.
She reportedly said she was in a voluntary relationship with the man for about a month when he allegedly physically assaulted her while they were in California, “at which point she felt unable to leave the relationship,” the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said in a statement.
Parrillo allegedly took the woman’s phone and debit cards and “isolated her from her family,” the attorney general’s office said.
