An employee at a Nebraska Walmart was hailed down by a customer and assisted the woman, who alleged that she was being held captive and physically harmed by her boyfriend.

According to reports, a woman from Kansas was recently staying with her boyfriend in a camper in Beatrice, a southeastern Nebraska town approximately 40 miles away from Lincoln. The pair, who reportedly had not been getting along, went to a Walmart store late in the afternoon on October 28. While there, the woman successfully caught the attention of one of the employees, and the worker followed her into the restroom. The woman reportedly told the worker that her boyfriend had been holding her against her will and had taken away her phone so she could not call for help. The employee notified the authorities about the situation, and deputies from the Gage County Sheriff’s Office went to investigate.

A man in Nebraska was arrested after an allegedly violent encounter in which he was accused of assaulting and holding his former girlfriend captive inside a residence.

The situation reportedly began a few weeks earlier when the man was released on bond following a separate case involving allegations of strangulation.

When she woke up, she reportedly found herself in a different house that he owned. The two stayed there together for several hours, and he allegedly made alarming statements, including asking her to end his life, and reportedly threatened to kill them both.
