A Saint Cloud man forced a woman to drive him and another man around after she returned home from the State Fair, threatened to kill her and others and assaulted her in front of a witness, according to charges.

Abdi Mohamed Dakane, 24, faces charges of kidnapping to commit great bodily harm or terrorize, false imprisonment, two counts of threats of violence and two counts of misdemeanor domestic assault. The complaint says he and the victim are family or household members.
