A man who allegedly held a woman against her will inside a Coachella home today was arrested for kidnapping and domestic violence-related charges, according to sheriff’s deputies.

related to domestic violence, false imprisonment, and violating a domestic
violence restraining order and was booked at the Riverside County jail in
Indio, said sheriff’s Sgt. Andrew Nielsen.
