Summary
A 47-year-old man, Joseph Kravetz, is facing life-threatening charges after allegedly kidnapping, assaulting, and threatening a woman and her son in Castleton — including choking her, pressing a gun to her head, and stealing her phone and keys. The terrified victim, who escaped and called police, described a harrowing attack that left her with a bruised eye and forehead cuts. Her son corroborated key details, including being dragged into a struggle with Kravetz. Police, unable to locate him initially, issued a warrant and arrested him without bail — with the kidnapping charge alone carrying a potential life sentence.
