Meservey man charged with kidnapping

     A Meservey man was arrested last week for allegedly kidnapping his girlfriend and beating her for over half a day.
     According to court records, during the evening of October 7, Franklin County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from a woman at the Sheffield Dollar General stating she had been kidnapped and beaten by her 41-year-old live-in boyfriend and Meservey resident, Charles Raymond Albright.
     36-year-old Kimberly Hartman told police she was held against her will in Meservey for approximately 12 to 14 hours by Albright.
     During that time Albright allegedly beat and tortured Hartman by hitting her head against the floor, repeatedly hitting, punching and stomping her face, stomach, arms and back area, cutting her with a knife, allowing his dog to repeatedly bit her and using a stun gun on her.
