NILES, Ohio - Just two days before his birthday, a Niles man was handed his sentence in court on Wednesday, for kidnapping a woman back in November of 2022.

According to court employees, 35-year-old Jeffrey Green was sentenced to three to four-and-a-half years in prison on charges of burglary, attempted felonious assault and kidnapping.

The charges stem from an incident from November of 2022 when Green taped a woman's mouth shut and took her to a garage, hitting her and forcing her into his car.

Police say the victim was on a video chat with her friend when she heard noises inside her house. The victim's friend told police the chat abruptly ended after the victim said her ex-boyfriend's name.
