A helpless woman was rescued from a New Hampshire Olive Garden after a maniac reportedly forced her into marriage and slashed her as part of a sick satanic ritual.
The woman’s worried mother tracked her phone to the restaurant and asked Newington police to conduct a welfare check on Saturday, where they arrested 47-year-old Daniel Ouellet, Boston.com reported.
She came running out of the restaurant with tears in her eyes and cigarette burns on her legs when cops arrived, according to an affidavit obtained by the outlet.
Ouellet claimed he was just out for a meal with his “wife” and she was upset because her mother had attempted to force her to join a religious cult in Pennsylvania, court papers said.
However, the woman, who hasn’t been identified, said the lunatic reached out to her a week before and threatened to hurt her family if she didn’t agree to meet him in New England.
After arriving, Ouellet, who was carrying a handgun, allegedly told her they were going to a town hall to get married — or he would “make her pay,” the outlet reported.
Ouellet also allegedly kept her phone for several days and made her drive around at gunpoint — claiming that “religious cults” were following them, the affidavit said.
Before he was busted, the creep also allegedly sliced her hand with a box cutter as part of a satanic ritual, police said. Cops also later found a copy of the Satanic Bible in his car.
It is not immediately clear how the pair know each other.
Ouellet faces charges of using a deadly weapon to prevent someone from reporting a crime.
Newington Police Chief Michael Bilodeau told the outlet that he is also facing additional charges in Lee, where the forced marriage took place.
Ouellet — who has a history of DWI and domestic violence charges — denied the allegations in court,” WJCL reported.
“If you talk to anybody that knows me, I’m not a physical man,” he said. “I’m very pristine and, you know, forcing her into marriage, that’s completely against my religious belief,” he told the courtroom.
“I totally believe in free will, and I have never been aggressive with her in ways that were described on that paper.”
Ouellet was held behind bars on preventative detention and the woman was granted an order of protection.
