MESERVEY, Iowa (AP) - A northern Iowa man accused of kidnapping and torturing his girlfriend has pleaded not guilty.

Mason City station KIMT reports (https://bit.ly/2eVUpqF ) that 41-year-old Charles Albright, of Meservey (meh-ZUR’-vee), entered the pleas Tuesday to charges of kidnapping and willful injury. His next court date has not been set.

Court records say the woman was held for 12 to 14 hours on Oct. 7 in Meservey, where she was punched, slammed against a floor, shocked with a stun gun and bitten by a dog. She also told officers she was then taken to Sheffield, where he continued attacking her.



Her injuries included burns, sinus damage and broken bones in her face as well as bruises on her body and face.
