Patterson police arrested Drew Baugher, 22, of Mill Road in Patterson for false imprisonment, theft and simple battery – domestic violence at 6:27 p.m. Thursday.

The victim, who is Baugher’s girlfriend, had stayed at his home the evening prior to the arrest. When she tried to leave around 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Baugher opened her car door and took her keys and phone. The victim repeatedly told Baugher she wanted to leave, but they returned to the home while continuing the argument. Again she tried to leave, and he pushed her onto the bed and held her there, Chief Patrick LaSalle said.
