CLEVELAND -- A disabled mother and her daughter, 6, were discovered being held captive in an Ashland home and the four who kept them there are in custody now.
The woman was "disabled" after a childhood head injury and functions on a teenage level, according to federal officials.
Federal officials aren't saying much except that the investigation began when the mother was caught shoplifting a candy bar back in October and she wanted the officer to put her in jail.
The officer became suspicious and continued looking into the situation. That led to the discovery of the people in the home.
Two men and a woman were charged for "repeatedly exposing the woman and her child to sub-human beatings," according to federal officials.
Jordie Callahan, 26, Jessica Hunt, 31, and Daniel Brown, 33, were all arrested Monday and charged with forced labor.
Callahan is charged with an additional count of tampering with a witness.
A fourth person has been charged but officials are not yet releasing that person's name.
Officials say the woman and her daughter were "...threatened with weapons, pit bulls and snakes...and they were treated worse than the animals in the home..."
Officials say those charged used the woman's checking account to get money and also used her prescriptions.
Officials said the woman and the child "are doing well now" and those arrested will have their first court appearance at 2:30 p.m. today.
