Brandon police have arrested a man after investigators say a woman was confined and assaulted at his home for two days.

Police received a report on Tuesday that a 38-year-old woman was able to escape from a home in the 600 block of 8th Street on Aug. 3 and was now in hospital.

Police said she was forcibly confined in the home for two days, where she was assaulted and threatened.

Brandon police arrested a 44-year-old man at the home and the woman's property was also found during the arrest.

He has been charged with assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, forcible confinement and failure to comply with a release order.

Police said the man and woman knew each other, and the confinement occurred when the man blamed the woman for lost money he couldn't find.

He remains in custody and charges against him haven't been proven in court.
