RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – Rankin County deputies said a man was arrested after a missing woman was found at his home.

On May 12, Smith County deputies received a report about a missing woman. Through a joint investigation, Rankin and Smith county deputies discovered that the woman was at a home on Holly Bush Road in Rankin County.

Investigator Tyler Burnell, with the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, said deputies responded to the home and confirmed that the woman was at the location. She had physical injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Burnell said the woman told investigators that she had been held against her will at the home for three weeks while enduring near daily abuse.
