When officers arrived, they made contact with an adult man who told officers he was in an altercation with his mother and stepfather at another residence on Oster Drive.

HPD said the man had minor injuries in this altercation.

Officers then responded to the 1100 block of Oster Drive to contact the possible suspects in the domestic report. Once officers were on the scene, a second call was reported at the home which, HPD says, led the officers to believe the woman inside was possibly being held against her will.

Once officers learned this information, additional resources were called in.
