A Texas man was charged with kidnapping last week after allegedly imprisoning a woman inside a Houston area trailer home.
The 32-year-old woman allegedly called police for help after Abraham Bravo Segura, 42, went to work, according toKTRK.
“When [officers] arrived, a female stated through a window she could not get out of the home as the door was locked from the outside,” Harris County Sheriff’s Office Senior Deputy Thomas M Gilliland tells PEOPLE.
Gilliland says the trailer home had burglar bars on the windows and a pad lock was attached to the front door.
Three guns were found inside, according to the probable cause order.
The woman alleged she “has been in a dating relationship with Segura for four years,” according to Gilliland. “She was able to walk around in the home but could only leave with the defendant only.”

“She told deputies he would threaten her if she tried to leave the home,” Gilliland said. “No real time frame has been established as to how long this has been going on. Some witnesses claim they have seen her outside the home on many occasions.”
Segura, 42, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of kidnapping. He is being held on a $180,000 bond. It was not immediately clear if he has entered a plea or retained an attorney to comment on his behalf.
Gilliland said the woman is currently staying in a women’s shelter.
Segura’s attorney Brennen Dunn believes his client will be exonerated. “I’ve spoken to my client and I have the utmost confidence that more evidence currently being investigated will result in the exoneration of Mr. Segura,” he said. “I look forward to, yet again, proving that the state, in an effort to curry public favor, moved too quickly to charge my client without having vital information.”
