When Garrett and Christina Muedeking heard the doorbell ring about 8 p.m. Tuesday, they thought it might be a solicitor or a friend returning to their house in St. Paul's North End.

Instead it was an injured teen, handcuffed and chained at the wrists and ankles, pleading for help.

The young man had a terrible story to tell: He had been abducted from North Minneapolis, strangled from behind while walking down the street. He lost consciousness and woke up, bound and blindfolded, in the basement of a house where he would be held for four days and told that his family would be hurt if he resisted. Eventually he freed himself and crawled away to seek help. He said he was 19.

St. Paul police said they arrested Wilbert Glover, 55, of St. Paul on suspicion of kidnapping and sexual assault.

The Ramsey County attorney's office on Wednesday charged Glover with felony kidnapping and first-degree felony criminal sexual conduct. He was being held in lieu of $1 million bail. His first court appearance is scheduled for Monday. ............
