Lockport Man Charged After Motel Captivity Rescue

Wilmington police rescued an injured woman from a barricaded room at the Super Shine Motel after a co-worker alerted authorities to messages indicating she was being held and needed help. The woman told officers she had been confined for hours and repeatedly struck with a metal object and strangled, at times losing consciousness; she was taken to a hospital for treatment. Police arrested 28-year-old Lockport resident Ethan Demsco, who faces attempted first-degree murder and other felony charges and remains in custody as the investigation continues.
