A Union City man has been taken into custody on multiple charges that includes rape and kidnapping.
Martin Police Chief Phillip Fuqua said 46 year old Robert Micheal Higgins has been charged with one count each of rape, kidnapping and aggravated kidnapping, burglary and two counts of theft of property.
The charges were issued after an investigation that began on September 15th following a domestic dispute on North Lindell Street.
Police reports said two females indicated Higgins became violent with them, assaulted them, and then took their personal property.
Chief Fuqua said Higgins was arrested on this date for domestic assault.
Following additional interviews with the two female victims, it was discovered that Higgins had allegedly raped one victim in a semi-truck at the location, and held them against their will.
Higgins is being held in the Weakley County Detention Center.
