Lancaster County Sheriff's deputies who stopped an Omaha man's car in a random traffic stop Thursday morning found a woman being held against her will in the passenger seat, the sheriff alleged. When deputies approached the car, a woman in the passenger seat handed over an envelope thought to be the vehicle's paperwork — but first scrawled a message to deputies: that she was being held against her will, Wagner said. The woman called 911 in Sarpy County, Wagner said, but deputies didn't know that when they stopped Woods' car north of Lincoln. The woman had marks on her body thought to have been caused by domestic abuse at the hands of Woods, the sheriff alleged. And the 23-year-old had threatened to shoot the woman and himself with a gun he claimed was in the car, Wagner said.
