EDMOND, Oklahoma -
Logan County deputies arrested Jerry Maguffee, 90, and Kevin Maguffee, 62, at their north Edmond home on Wednesday for a kidnapping charge.
Prosecutors charged the pair, who are father and son, with kidnapping on Tuesday for allegedly restraining a female relative who has dementia.
“In this investigation, we had found that the victim was tied with her feet and hands with duct tape,” Logan County Undersheriff Troy Dykes said. “And our top priority was to work together with the (Oklahoma) Department of Human Services and our deputies to make sure the victim was safe.”
On May 2, deputies checked on the female relative after a doctor’s office called 911 to say she was restrained. According to the arrest warrant, Jerry had told the doctor’s office they had duct taped her arms and legs.
