Tierne Ewing, 48, told authorities he beat and pistol-whipped her, spat on her, kept her hands tied with wire and branded her legs with a piece of hot metal, having been restrained with a cord around her neck, her hands tied behind her back with wires, and her mouth taped shut.
A criminal complaint was filed, charging him with kidnapping, aggravated assault, terrorist threats, false imprisonment and other crimes.
Tierne Ewing had staples closing a cut on her head – a home remedy, not hospital-administered – that she told police was caused when her husband hit her with a wooden gun stock. She had also been locked in a closet, police said.
The victim escaped when her husband sent her into a credit union to withdraw money and she told tellers she was being held against her will and feared that her husband would kill her, the complaint said.
Bank officials called police, who found Kevin Ewing in the parking lot with a rifle, handgun and a knife, the complaint said.
Police confirmed Ms Ewing was covered with injuries including bruises, burns and cuts. She told the police she had been held against her will for several days. Police said she had been hit in the head with a handgun, resulting in a concussion and a laceration that required staples. He was arrested.

“She told me years ago, ‘Dad, if you can’t ever find me, I’ll be buried on his dad’s farm‘”.

Mr Ewing was given bond of $100,000 by Common Pleas Judge Gary Gilman who refused to raise the bond amount as requested by Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone, given the seriousness of the offenses. The Judge ordered Mr. Ewing confined to his home without weapons and made him wear an electronic ankle bracelet.
Trooper Stefani Plume has said Mr. Ewing cut off the ankle device and left it at home before abducting his wife early Tuesday. He is yet to be charged for her death.
