Lough is accused of holding a 41-year-old woman against her will and physically assaulting her during an incident that occurred in the early morning hours. She was transported to Sumner Regional Medical Center where she was treated for injuries.

The Sumner County Attorney’s office has charged Lough with a level one aggravated kidnapping felony – considered the most severe penalty for this particular charge.

According to the criminal complaint docket filed Friday in Sumner County District Court, Lough used “force, threat, or deception, with the intent to hold such person kidnapped and to inflict bodily injury or terrorize said victim.”

Allegedly, the woman was having Lough perform some tattoo work on her when he made a sexual suggestion which resulted in an argument.

Then Lough allegedly head-butted her before handcuffing her behind her back even though she said she wanted to call for a ride and leave.

Then while she was still handcuffed, allegedly Lough punched her, sprayed mace in her face, threw water on her and used a taser on her before force feeding her unknown pills.

According to the complaint, during the attack she got a black eye, a six-inch scratch on her collar bone, abrasions from the handcuffs, and red marks on the back of her neck and on her stomach.

Lough has also been charged with battery, a Class B misdemeanor; Criminal Damage to Property, a Class B misdemeanor; and possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class A misdemeanor.

The complaint said when he angrily head butted the woman, she was knocked to the floor. He also allegedly damaged the woman’s cell phone, and had a glass marijuana pipe in his possession.

During the investigation, according to a Wellington Police Department press release, Lough was taken into custody without incident and booked into Sumner County jail.
