ANGOLA, IN (WTVB) – An Orland, Indiana man is facing five charges including four felonies in connection with an alleged kidnapping last week.
Police from Ashley and Hudson say 36-year-old Levi Stetler was arrested Thursday after officers were dispatched to a residence in Hudson on a report a 23-year-old man was kidnapped.
After they arrived, police learned that the alleged victim was reportedly battered, forced into a vehicle and taken from the area.
A vehicle which contained the suspect and the alleged victim was later found on 800 West north of U.S. 20 by the Indiana State Police.

Police say they found weapons reportedly used in the battery as well as approximately three grams of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Stetler has been charged by Steuben County Prosecutors with felony counts of kidnapping with a deadly weapon, battery with a deadly weapon, intimidation and possession of methamphetamine as well as a misdemeanor for possession of paraphernalia.
