Aro declined to indicate which bar or the location.

She then told police he pulled out a gun and held it to her back and forced her into the vehicle, Aro said.

Aro said the woman reported she was taken to the man’s home in Genesee Township and had no clear memory of what happened until she woke up around 5:30 a.m. Saturday. She reported the man was not at home, so she began walking and later got a ride to her Clio home and then called the Fenton Police Department.

Aro said police asked her to come into the police department to file a written statement, but she stated she was tired and didn’t know when she could come in to the department.

Police have been unable to contact the woman since.

Aro said the complaint is still open and under investigation as police are still trying to get ahold of the woman.
