Police have charged a man Wednesday with beating and sodomizing a woman he held captive for two days.

Nicholas Liston, 22, of Eureka has been jailed with $500,000 bail for domestic violence, false imprisonment, sodomy by force, penetration with a foreign object.

Eureka Police Department officers busted Liston Wednesday morning after his victim managed to covertly call them from a relative's house.

The woman convinced him to walk her there after being kept at his home from Monday to Wednesday, gagged and blindfolded much of the time. Detectives say that after getting a warrant to search Liston's home, they found evidence supporting her story.

The woman was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital for treatment of her injuries.
