Authorities say they looked inside the shed and found a woman who was restrained with rope and a chain.

The woman reportedly told deputies she'd been tied up against her will and put inside the shed about an hour or so before. The woman suffered bruises on her wrists and arms.

Nearby resident Gary Alen McNair, 52, was subsequently arrested.

WTVD reports that it was actually McNair's mother — who lives next door — who called the police after hearing noises.
