FORT MADISON, Iowa

 

An Illinois man who police say held five people hostage in a motel in Fort Madison, Iowa, was arrested after he sent two of his hostages on a beer run.

 

Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel of Moline is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn't be allowed to leave.

 

One man was cut and Slagel had a cut on his hand, but police say the injuries weren't serious.

 

Police say Slagel eventually got thirsty and sent two hostages out for beer.

 

After they left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.
