2nd hostage incident arrest

Marshall County authorities say a second man has been accused of holding a woman against her will and assaulting her. 38-year-old Robert Matthew Brown has been arrested for first degree kidnapping and second degree assault. The same charges were filed against 42-year-old Jonathan Lee Cranford, who was arrested earlier this week. Sheriff's officials say the woman, who is in her 30's, was held hostage and beaten for several days before she was able to escape. They say it happened late last year at Cranford's home in a trailer park off Highway 75 just north of Albertville. The victim did not report the incident right away. The investigation continues and more arrests are expected.
