North Carolina Man Arrested Twice for Violent Kidnappings, Assaults Across Counties

Logan Calaway, 23, has been arrested for a second time after violently kidnapping and assaulting his ex-girlfriend, this time from her parents' home in Unionville, North Carolina, just weeks after a similar incident in Matthews. During the July 9 kidnapping, Calaway forcibly took the woman from her home, strangled her until unconscious, threatened her with a knife, and fled with her in her own vehicle. Law enforcement used technology such as the National Crime Information Center and FLOCK Safety license plate readers to track them to Bennettsville, South Carolina, where the victim was rescued and Calaway arrested. The victim had an active Domestic Violence Protection Order against Calaway at the time, highlighting ongoing abuse despite his earlier June arrest and release on a $45,000 bond. Calaway now faces multiple felony charges including attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, first-degree kidnapping, and violation of the protection order, and is held on a $1 million bond. Authorities emphasize their zero tolerance for domestic violence and continue investigating, urging the public to provide any information.
