A Margarettsville man was charged with first-degree forcible rape and kidnapping, the Seaboard Police Department reports.

Chief Virginia Powell said Albert Sidney Harrell, 61, was jailed on a total $100,000 secured bond — $50,000 for each count — and has an April 19 court date following his arrest Saturday.

He was charged following an investigation which showed the 47-year-old victim asked him for $10. Harrell reportedly told her if he would come and clean his house he would give her the money.

When she completed the work, Harrell allegedly held the victim, with whom he was familiar, against her will.

The police department received the report around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

Harrell was arrested later that day by Seaboard Officer Jaquan Britt with assistance by Garysburg Officer M. Goffington and Northampton County Sheriff's Office Deputy C. Exum.

Powell said while Harrell resides in Margarettsville, he maintains a weekend residence in Seaboard.
