Police: Rage followed Facebook message

HANFORD, Calif., Aug. 31 (UPI) -- A California man allegedly went into a jealous rage after seeing a Facebook message from his girlfriend to another man, officials told ABC News.

Anthony Lozano, 36, was charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment, the report said. Police say he allegedly threatened the 23-year-old woman's life, bound and tortured her while holding her hostage for four days in their Hanford home. At one point, police allege, he pulled her around the home by her hair.

The woman managed to escape the home and call police, ABC said. The couple's 3-year-old child and an older child of the woman's were at home but not injured, police said.

According to Sheriff's Cmdr. Dave Putnam, Lozano held his girlfriend captive beginning Tuesday of last week after he discovered a Facebook conversation between her and another man. UPI
