Man charged for holding woman hostage for nearly a year, traveling cross country
Booking photo for James W. Parrillo Jr., released by New Jersey Attorney General and State Police Superintendent. A 57-year-old man is facing multiple charges after authorities say he held a woman hostage for nearly a year, spending her money and physically assaulting her as he continued to move her from state to state.
The woman was able to escape earlier this month to a gas station in New Jersey, where he was eventually arrested and is facing the charges.
The New Jersey attorney general and state police superintendent said the woman, who is not being identified, met a man by the name of "Brett Parker" at a gas station along an interstate in New Mexico in February of 2022.
At his request, she agreed to give him a ride to Arizona and told police she eventually entered voluntarily into a relationship with him.
