A woman with a bloodied face screamed for help from the back seat of a car at a Rochester gas station before the driver sped away, according to charges filed in Olmsted County.

Paul Canini Jr., 42, of Rochester, faces five charges: kidnapping to facilitate a felony or flight, false imprisonment, domestic assault by strangulation, fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle and misdemeanor domestic assault.

According to the complaint, officers responded to the Kwik Trip on Marion Road Southeast at about 5:42 a.m. on June 8 after a witness reported seeing a woman in distress. The witness told a Rochester police officer that he saw a man and woman enter the store together. When the witness left the store, he saw the woman in the back seat of a car with the man driving. The woman rolled down the window and yelled, “help me, help me, please help,” before the driver sped off down Marion Road.
