PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Spokane man was arrested at an Oregon truck stop after authorities say he held a woman against her will and assaulted her while traveling.

49-year-old Lanny Bieroth is accused of second-degree kidnapping. He’s being held in Portland on $250,000 bail.

Deputies responded to the Troutdale truck stop late Wednesday where the woman reported she was held and assaulted as they traveled from California. The sheriff’s office says she escaped and got to safety inside a convenience store.

Deputies found Bieroth in a semi-truck and arrested him.
