Authorities allege that during the March incident, Seawood held the woman down on the ground, choked her, and took her phone away, effectively holding her hostage. As a result, Seawood is facing charges of second-degree battery and first-degree false imprisonment.
Seawood is currently in custody at the Randolph County Detention Center and is awaiting transfer to Lawrence County, where the charges were filed.
Additional details about the case or Seawood’s court proceedings have not yet been released.
