While on scene, officers noticed that a woman who was with Garrett was “in distress” and showing signs of abuse.

Both Garrett and the alleged abuse victim were taken to the hospital, where medics found “extensive bruising” on the woman’s body, police said.
The woman later shared what police described as a “horrific account” of being held captive in her own home by Garrett, who allegedly subjected her to repeated physical and sexual abuse.
The 30-year-old suspect allegedly took the woman’s phone after she tried to call for help and threatened her.
A police investigation determined that Garrett “forcefully restrained the victim, subjected him to continuous abuse, and prevented him from seeking medical attention or contacting law enforcement,” which police said put his life “in danger.”
