He’s also accused of breaking her cell phone to prevent her from calling for help.

Broderick Grant allegedly Kidnapped the victim by holding her against her will, choking her and holding her down to keep her from leaving or receiving help at a Setzler Road address, listed on the warrant as his address.

Grant is also accused of doing $2,000 or less to Deputy McMahan’s patrol vehicle on West Patton Drive Saturday night by using his head to continuously strike the right rear cargo window until it shattered.
