The victim snatched from the tribal casino on Sunday was saved from her ordeal by the ACPD, which responded to a reported kidnapping call at around 1:18am.

Officers identified the reported gray SUV on Arkansas City’s South Eighth Street and, upon contact, also identified two males and one female occupant.

The female victim reported being taken against her will from the casino in Oklahoma, which is five miles from the Kansas border. She also alleged both men sexually assaulted her and that the “assaults continued while traveling through Arkansas City.” 

Arkansas City Fire/EMS Department arrived on the scene to treat the woman before taking her to hospital for additional medical care. The ACPD arrested Dominguez and Morales before booking them into the Cowley County Jail. 

Media reports on Tuesday cite the Cowley County Sheriff Department’s inmate roster as listing Dominguez and Morales were still being held in the county jail on respective bonds of $1m and $500,000. 

Suspect faces life in prison

Besides Dominguez’s ICE detainer, the suspect has allegedly racked up multiple crimes in Kansas, including domestic battery, failure to pay child support and to appear in court, and operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license. 

Under Kansas law, if found guilty of rape, courts can sentence Dominguez to a maximum of life in prison. 

The ACPD stated that its investigation into the crime is ongoing.
