A New Hampshire man is accused of chaining a woman to a bed and locking her and an 8-year-old child in a room while he was at work.
WMUR-TV reports 33-year-old Michael Grant of Keene was indicted regarding an incident last month at a residence in Swanzey.
Police said they responded after hearing from a Division of Children, Youth and Families worker.
Court records say police found a locked door accessible from the outside. They pried it open and found the woman “chained to the bed’s footboard by her ankle” with about 3 feet of slack. The child wasn’t tied down. Investigators said neither could leave.
Grant’s expected to appear in court this month. It wasn’t immediately known if he had a lawyer and a number couldn’t be found for him.
