Woman rescued after her plea for help found on restroom wall

DUBLIN - Police are questioning a trucker who allegedly kept a woman captive and beat her frequently for at least six months. <br> <br> Authorities arrested Shannon E. Jones after finding him and his captive at a Georgia rest stop Saturday. <br> <br> Katina Shaddix was hundreds of miles from the rest stop in Tennessee where she scrawled a desperate message on a bathroom wall: ``Won&#39;t let me out. Beating me, this is no joke!&#39;&#39; <br> <br> A janitor found the message, which included information about Jones&#39; truck number, and called police Friday night. They used a global positioning system to find the truck and Shaddix. <br> <br> Shaddix told police that Jones beat her and held her against her will for at least six months, following her to the bathroom and waiting outside so she wouldn&#39;t escape. <br> <br> From her hospital bed, Shaddix told officers she hid a marker in her sock and left more than 30 similar ``help&#39;&#39; messages on bathroom walls from New York to Tennessee. Jones was charged with aggravated assault and could face kidnapping charges. <br> <br> Sergeant Gerald Frazier of the Laurens County Sheriff&#39;s Department says the 24-year-old Shaddix has had internal injuries and some broken bones as well as ``bruises pretty much all over her body.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Shaddix is recovering at Fairview Park hospital in Laurens County. <br> <br> Although the arrest happened in Georgia, the case may be turned over to the FBI because Shaddix says the kidnapping and other crimes were committed elsewhere.
