A North Carolina woman is charged with attempted murder after allegedly
locking her boyfriend in a storage unit, where he was stuck for several
days with no food or water before being rescued, police said.

Robin Deaton, 52, of Matthews, North Carolina, has been arrested on
attempted murder and kidnapping charges, the Monroe Police Department
said. She was booked into jail early Thursday after a manhunt by police.

Her 51-year-old boyfriend had been locked in the unit on Thursday, police
said. Deaton allegedly convinced him to crawl to the back of the unit to
get her something, then slammed it shut and said, "This is what you get," according to police.

He had no food, water or power source, and there were two locks on the
storage unit, police said.

The man called 911 on Monday and told the dispatcher that his girlfriend
had locked him in her storage unit at Cooper Storage in Monroe.

"I've been locked in a storage unit for about a week now, and I've just
now found my phone," he said in the 911 call, released by Union County Emergency Services. "My girlfriend locked me in here. She doubled up my
lock, and I don't know how she put me in it but she put me in here."

He said he was in unit 43 and his phone was about to die. When asked if he needed emergency services, he said, "I just need to get out of here."

"I just can't breathe. I haven't had nothing to drink or anything," he
said.

Officers responded to the facility around 1:15 p.m. Monday, according to
the incident report.

The man was taken to an area hospital but has since been released,
Charlotte, North Carolina, ABC affiliate WSOC reported.

The incident report listed the crime as false imprisonment, though
detectives sought higher charges for Deaton's arrest warrant based on the investigation, the police spokesperson said.
