A man is behind bars two days after allegedly tying up a woman using duct tape, sticking a sock in her mouth and threatening to cut off her toes if she made a sound, authorities said.

Jeremy Miguel Anderson, 31, of Jonesboro, was arrested by deputies in DeKalb County on Tuesday, a day after he was named the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office’s most wanted suspect.

Clayton County police began the investigation into the incident at Anderson’s house in the 1400 block of Iron Gate Boulevard on Sunday, AJC.com previously reported. The victim was visiting him when an argument allegedly prompted the attack.

Anderson was booked into the Clayton County jail on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, terroristic threats and false imprisonment, jail records show.
