CHINA GROVE, N.C. -- Authorities in Rowan County say a man held a double-barreled shotgun to a woman's head and made her read her favorite scripture.

The Salisbury Post reports (http://bit.ly/HNmook ) that the Rowan County Sheriff's Office said 20-year-old Jonathan Alan Morton was taken into custody when deputies arrived at his home shortly after midnight Sunday.

Investigators said Morton held 19-year-old Elizabeth Nichols against her will inside his bedroom, pressing a shotgun to her head and, at one point, a screwdriver against her throat. A report said Morton stood behind Nichols and held the gun to her head as she read.

Nichols escaped and called 911. Morton was arrested as he walked in a ditch near his home.

The Conquistadors come to mind.. in South America. The Spanish Inquisition. Fortunately, that tactic didn't work in Japan.. the Shogun ran them out with the treat of death before they could get a foothold.
