A Maryland man has been charged with kidnapping after he took a man in Georgetown and drove him to Seaford on May 3, according to police.
The victim said he was taken against his will after he had helped another man to avoid a potential assault by the suspect, Georgetown police said.
Michael Stills of Hurlock, Maryland, is charged with first-degree kidnapping, terroristic threatening and offensive touching.
On May 3, Seaford police contacted Georgetown police, informing them of the victim at a Seaford Motel 6, an hour after he had been taken in Georgetown. The victim had escaped the suspect’s vehicle in Seaford, police said.
After an investigation, Stills was identified as the suspect, police said.
On May 6, Dover police had Stills in custody after a traffic stop and notified Georgetown police, who took over from there.
Stills is being held on $26,500 cash bail at the Sussex Correctional Facility.
