Albany’s SWAT Team raided an apartment early this morning where they say a man was holding his girlfriend hostage.

Authorities say 39-year-old Michael Jackson locked 55-year-old Jasmine Boyd inside their apartment Monday night and wouldn’t let her leave. Police arrived after neighbors heard screams coming from their Moultrie Road apartment. Boyd was uninjured and Jackson was arrested and charged with false imprisonment.
