Police in Las Vegas have arrested a man in connection with a video showing a young woman pleading for help at a stranger’s door before being kidnapped shortly after midnight on New Year’s Day.

According to ABC News, Darnell Rodgers, 23, was arrested in Las Vegas and has been charged with kidnapping and domestic battery.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released doorbell footage from a home near Warm Springs Road and I-215 taken around 12:48 a.m. that shows an apparent kidnapping.

An unidentified woman, around 20-30 years old, runs to a house where she bangs on the door and screams for help. Directly behind her, a man around the same age gets out of a white Hyundai Sonata and charges toward her.

He can be seen pulling her from the door and throwing her to the ground before violently kicking her.

“Why would you f—ing do that?” he yells out. “Get in the car! Get in the car!”

He grabs the woman by her hair and drags her into the vehicle; the two are last seen taking off in the car.

Police report that the woman has been found and is safe. Rodgers was arrested Thursday and is at the Clark County jail.

Authorities have ordered at least 50,000 people in Northern California to evacuate on Saturday as a potentially “catastrophic” wind event could amplify the wildfires that have scorched the area.

The entire towns of Healdsburg and Windsor are set to evacuate ahead of strong winds that may lead to erratic fire behavior.

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office expects to be the biggest evacuation in the county in over 25 years with Sheriff Mark Essick saying its the largest evacuation order he’s experienced in his 26-year career.

“This fire is very dangerous,” Essick said at a press conference Saturday.

Weather forecasts indicate that strong winds are set to impact much of the region over the weekend. Some gusts are projected to reach 85 mph and there’s a possibility of it being a record wind event, the National Weather Service warned,

“The winds are expected anywhere between 8 p.m. and midnight and from all reports they’re expected to be extremely strong,” said Brian Vitorelo with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The Mayor of Windsor encouraged residents to get out quickly.

“This is a life-threatening situation and a danger to our entire town,” Foppoli told ABC News.

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) confirmed it would initiate a mass power shut-off of nearly 940,000 customers on Saturday, with the total impacted rising from 2.5 to 2.8 million.

The police on the Greek island of Crete reportedly apprehended a man on Monday in links to the killing of a scientist that was found lifeless this month in an abandoned bunker used by the Nazis during World War II.

The 27-year-old man who was held on Monday was one of the very 10 people interviewed during the weekend as part of the investigation into Suzanne Eaton’s slaying, officials said.

Eaton, a 59-year-old molecular biologist at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, Germany was last seen July 2 near the port of the Crete city of Chania.

Police discovered her lifeless body last week in a man-made cave that had been used as a bunker during the Nazi occupation of Crete. The cave can be found at about six miles from where Eaton was last seen. She had been suffocated and the coroner ruled her death a “criminal act.”

ABC News on Monday cited a high-level police source as saying the suspect claimed he committed the murder and intentionally hit Eaton with his car.

The suspect, who wasn’t immediately identified, is reported to be a local farmer, who is also the father of two children, according to the Greek Reporter.

The search for Eaton involved police and volunteers who staged a massive effort to find her.

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory announced that flags would be flown at half-staff Monday in Eaton’s honor.
