Segovia and the victim were at a party on Danville Road early Oct. 15 when they got into an argument that turned physical. Other people at the party helped the victim, and the two were separated

Witnesses told police they saw Segovia force the victim into his car, seemingly against her will.

An Amber Alert was issued for the teen, and police soon learned the two were at a home on Barksdale Street in Woodbridge.

A man and woman at the home gave officers fake names, but they were quickly identified and questioned about the incident.

Police say the teen was located unharmed and returned to her family.

Segovia was arrested and is being held without bond.
