WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 58-year-old man has been arrested after police say he attached jumper cables to the ears of a 15-year-old boy in Wichita to get information about who had robbed him.

According to Wichita police Lt. James Espinoza, the boy was walking early Sunday when he said someone placed a gun at his back. Police say the suspect led the teen to a garage, where he tied him to a trailer hitch attached to a van.

Espinoza said the suspect then attached jumper cables to the boy’s ears and shocked him repeatedly while questioning him about a recent robbery. According to police, the man’s wallet had been stolen and he believed the teen knew who was responsible.

The suspect eventually released the boy, who walked home and told his father what happened. He was taken to a hospital.

The man faces charges of aggravated battery and kidnapping.
