TWENTYNINE PALMS - News Channel 3 confirms a Combat Center Marine, Sgt. Winsly Leonce, has been charged with kidnapping, criminal threats, and discharging a firearm within the city limits.

The charges stem from a story we first brought you on Monday night.

The horrific story told by Ashleigh Wallace begins when she and two girl friends met "Leo" for the first time at a Twentynine Palms bar late Saturday night. 

San Bernardino Sheriff's Deputies say Leo is 26 year-old Winsly Leonce of 29 Palms.  Ashleigh's friends had left her there and at the end of the evening Leonce accused her of stealing his laptop and TV. Ashleigh says when she wouldn't fess up to the crime, they kidnapped her and put her in a car.

According to deputy reports, the three girls went back to Leonce's 29 Palms house on the 6900 block of Park Avenue early Sunday morning for an after party. 

Wallace says, Leo, his friend, Mike and a third heavy-set man drove her around 29 Palms for three hours.  At one point she says they drove her to the desert with a gun to her head.  They eventually went back to Leo's house where she says after making a call to 9-1-1, the operators were able to locate her using the GPS on her phone. 

Deputies surrounded the house  and arrested Leonce. Winsly Leonce is being held at the Morongo Basin Jail on a $250,000 bond for kidnapping.  No word on the two other men allegedly involved in the crimes.
