The victim is pregnant and told deputies the pair had argued over a doctor’s appointment.
During the dispute, Wilt reportedly took her phone and car keys.
She tried to walk to the neighbor’s house, but Wilt caught up with her, grabbed her, and tried to make her go back into the house.
A neighbor stepped in and helped the victim get to safety.
The victim reported feeling hurt and uncomfortable, but had no visible injuries.

Wilt was taken to the Logan County Jail and charged with domestic violence and unlawful restraint.
