A California woman was tased multiple times in the head during an apparent kidnapping by a person in disguise whom she identified as her former housekeeper, police reported.
Erin Quinn had been out trying to collect items for a Christmas toy drive when she was allegedly violently attacked for more than 30 minutes in her car by a person wearing a blonde wig.
The person, Quinn claimed, was her housekeeper Olga Mendez, with whom she had no contact for over nine months.
The incident occurred on December 18 when Quinn, who lives in Temecula, received a text message asking her to pick up toys for the toy drive. The message came from an unknown number from someone who claimed to be an elderly woman named Connie, KTLA 5 reported.
When she arrived at the address Quinn got out of the car, but received no answer when she rang the doorbell. Another text message told her to wait in her vehicle so the items could be brought out to her.
Quinn claimed that the attacker, wearing a disguise, was waiting for her in the car when she got back in the vehicle.
