PASCO COUNTY, FL — A Pasco County man was arrested after being accused of locking his girlfriend inside their home with the windows nailed shut, preventing her from leaving. Deputies said Luis Manuel Molina, 44, of Pasco County got into an argument with his girlfriend on Jan. 9 during which he pushed her, removed the sim card from her cellphone so she couldn't call for help and then locked her inside the home. The next day, deputies said Molina returned to the home where he was arrested after another incident with his girlfriend. He was taken to the Land O' Lakes Detention Center where he's being held on $10,000 bail for felony kidnapping.
