RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> Thanks to concerned coworkers, a woman is free from being held captive in her apartment and her boyfriend is in jail.
Police arrested Michael Rodak, 25, of Rancho Cucamonga about 7 p.m. Tuesday on suspicion of false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threats, according to a San Bernardino County sheriff’s news release. His bail was set at $250,000.
Earlier Tuesday, someone who worked with the woman called police to report “she was not herself while at work” and asked them to check in on her, the news release states. When deputies contacted her — it was not clear if they called or stopped by her home — she alleged she had been held captive for three days by Rodak, who “threatened to kill her and himself with a machete.”
A deputy issued an arrest warrant for Rodak and an emergency protective order for the woman, the news release states. According to the sheriff’s booking website, deputies found and arrested Rodak at 10655 Lemon Ave.
