Louisville police said that they arrested the “alleged suspect in the case” two days after discovering the woman.
WAVEof Louisville reported last Friday that Moises May, 36, was charged with one count of kidnapping, wanton endangerment, assault, harassment, intimidating a participant in the legal process and terroristic threatening.
The victim — who later identified herself as 37-year-old Jonna Wilson — shared her story withWDRBduring an interview last Thursday.
“I said, ‘This is my only time, if I don’t get free now, I’m going to be dead,'” Wilson told the outlet. “And so I got close enough to the window to kick it out and call for help.”
Wilson said May is her estranged boyfriend and the father of her child. He said she had asked her to clean his home and offered to pay her.
According to WAVE, which cites an arrest report, May then allegedly pinned Wilson to the ground, slapped her and used a machete to chop off her hair before locking her in the home on Wednesday.

“As soon as he locked that lock, I knew it was over,” Wilson told WDRB, who claimed that May took her phone and that “every door was screwed shut. The fire department couldn’t even knock down the doors. That’s how bad they were screwed. Every very window he’s got bolted, every exit — there was no exit in the house.”
“I just want to see him get in jail,” Wilsontold WDRBduring a separate interview last Friday. “I just want justice, I want my daughter to be OK.”
According to WAVE, May pleaded not guilty in a court hearing on Saturday. PEOPLE was not able to immediately reach his lawyer.
Jonna Wilson and the Louisville Metro Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
