Members of the Monticello Police arrested Arthur J. Uhl, age 36, of Monticello, after receiving a report of a woman being physically held against her will and also being threatened with a firearm, in an apartment, located at the Sleepy Hollow Apartment Complex at Terry Lane, said Lt. Mark Johnstone of the Monticello Police.
Responding officers were required to forcibly gain entry to the apartment after Uhl refused to voluntarily open the door, Johnstone said.
After gaining entry, officers located the victim and Uhl inside. Uhl was then taken into custody.
