A Louisville man has been charged with kidnapping and second-degree assault after police say he padlocked a woman to the ceiling of a home before torturing her.

According to court documents, Brandon McQuillen, 38, was taken into custody Wednesday after police say he got into an argument with a woman with whom he was in an intimate relationship on May 10, WDRB reported

Per the documents, McQuillen is accused of placing a chain around the woman's neck and padlocking her to the ceiling. He is also accused of tasing her repeatedly in the stomach, striking her side repeatedly with a pool cue and punching her multiple times in the face, the TV station reported.

According to WHAS, McQuillen left the woman chained for about 12 hours before his former roommate alerted authorities.
