A man and a woman are facing charges after OPP in North Perth say someone was attacked with a stun gun and held against their will.

“The person was able to talk the male and the female into letting them out of the vehicle for a moment and when that happened, the person ran to the police station in Listowel,” said OPP Const. Barry Cookson, who noted the victim was able to provide a name and description to officers.
