PLACERVILLE, CALIF. — Three men from Sacramento County have been arrested for kidnapping a woman at an Indian casino in Shingle Springs.

Authorities say the men forced a woman through a Northern California casino to the garage. They said she would be let go after helping them get out of the Red Hawk Casino about 35 miles east of Sacramento.

The unidentified woman escaped and contacted casino security.

Jesse Madrigal, Steven Santiago and Ricky Mora were arrested on Friday for false imprisonment in the Oct. 14 incident.

They were also arrested for assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a fight at the casino where one man was punched and hit with a beer bottle.
