A man dragged his girlfriend from her apartment by her hair and forced her to marry him in hopes that it would prevent her from testifying against him in a criminal case, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Gregory Hogg, 41, apparently believed that a law that spouses cannot be forced to testify against each other would prevent Cheryl Skaggs from taking the stand, prosecutor Rachel Hutzel said. . . .
[H]ogg was indicted Monday on charges including kidnapping, domestic violence and intimidation of a witness. He was jailed on $352,000 bail.
He was trying to stop her from testifying that he threatened two bar employees. Now he's in a bit more trouble, the AP reports here.
