The Madera Sheriff’s Department has made an arrest on a retiree on Thursday, May 7. According to the Madera County Department of Corrections, Kevin Ronald Adkin, 60, is being charged with threatening crime with the intent to terrorize, false imprisonment, and battery on a non-co-habitant with whom the suspect has had a relationship.
Though further details were not released, the collection of charges likely means the suspect threatened to harm the victim and struck her at least once while he prevented her from leaving.
