An Ohio man who was been accused of kidnapping in the past has once again been arrested after police found an injured woman in an unattached garage.

The 23-year-old woman was found on Oct. 16 after police say William Mozingo held her captive for four days. The Akron Police Department released body camera footage of them rescuing the woman after she was found in an unattached garage on a Kenmore, Ohio property. A man alerted police after finding her there. Mozingo, 33, was arrested and faces charges of kidnapping and assault in the case.

Mozingo has two previous convictions for kidnapping, according to the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA Today Network. It's unclear if Mozingo has an attorney who can comment on his behalf.

According to Akron Municipal Court, Mozingo faces charges of felonious assault, unlawful restraint, kidnapping, abduction, parole violation and escape. He's being held in Summit County Jail on a $100,000 bond as of Friday. The case remains under investigation, police said.

In 2020, he was found guilty of kidnapping and aggravated assault and was sentenced to 18 months in prison, according to documents filed within the Stark County Court of Common Pleas.

Woman found with yellow, purple bruises

In the body camera footage, police encountered the woman on Oct. 16 wearing tattered clothes. She had multiple bruises on her face and one eye was swollen shut. She climbed down an overhead space in an unattached garage in Kenmore, Ohio, and asked the officers for water, the Akron Beacon Journal, reported.

She was taken to a hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

A man who lives on the property reported the crime to police after finding the woman in an unattached garage. The man told police he found her and Mozingo while searching for a dolly in the unattached garage to replace a washing machine.

"I was in there grabbing the dolly when I heard, 'Bro,'" the man recounted to police.

The man and his wife both told police they were friendly with Mozingo once, but cut off contact with him a few months ago, denying they knew he was in the garage.

He waited until the morning to call the police after speaking with his wife and not wanting to make the situation worse or harm their child's safety.

"I didn't know how to handle this while keeping her safe and without getting anyone else [hurt]," he told police. "He wasn't in his right state of mind. I wanted to make it look like I wasn't doing anything so he wouldn't get panicky."

Police pried the door open and moments later, with their handguns drawn, police walked toward the opened door before Mozingo stepped out with his hands behind his back.
