Five young girls drugged and abused/ Accused: Michael Rodriguez - Armona/King's County CA

A man is in custody after authorities say he kept
several young girls hostage in his house, forced them to take meth and
sexually assaulted them. It happened in the Kings County town of
Armona.
32-year-old Michael Rodriguez was arrested on kidnapping, child abuse, sexual battery and narcotics charges. Neighbors woke up at 7:00 Tuesday morning to several young girls
screaming for help. A deputy who arrived on scene had to use a taser to
subdue the suspect because of his erratic and dangerous behavior. Jeanette Madrid came out of her house to find her neighbor, Michael
Rodriguez, acting bizarre, and five young girls distressed. Madrid says
Rodriguez had his hands on one of them. "He was holding her,
restraining her. She was just upset and crying, obviously, against her
will." Com. Robert Thayer with the Kings County Sheriff's Office
describes what happened, "When the deputy first got on scene he
confronted the suspect, Michael Rodriguez, who kind of took a position
of a fighting stance and made mention of some very bizarre things like
he was a god of some sort. Commander Robert Thayer says the
deputy used a taser to subdue and then arrest Rodriguez, who was also
found with a large quantity of methamphetamine in his front pocket. Thayer says the suspect had just put four of the five girls through a
horrifying night. A 9-year-old girl was asleep at the time of the
crimes but is still considered a victim. Investigators say
Rodriguez forced four of the five girls to take methamphetamines,
sexually assaulted three of them, and also injured one of the girls with
a pair of scissors. And that's not all. Thayer said, "At some
point he took out some aggression on the family hamster and killed the
family hamster and just creating a terror of an evening for these
girls." Madrid said, "Obviously he's out of his mind because any normal person wouldn't do anything like that." While many neighbors are shocked, some are standing by Rodriguez.
"This is just some freak accident or I don't know how to explain it just
something that's hard," said Tina Moreno. "It's hard to explain." The four girls who were forced to take methamphetamine are still
heavily intoxicated and are undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital. Rodriguez faces a long list of criminal charges, including child abuse,
animal abuse, forcing a minor to take drugs and kidnapping.
