peckhamA Rock Hill man is facing charges after kidnapping and beating his girlfriend, acts that may have been caught on home video surveillance, a police report shows.

Cody Chandler Peckham, 24, was arrested Thursday night and charged with domestic violence and kidnapping. He was denied bond Friday.

Police arrived at Peckham’s home, where his girlfriend also lives, and Peckham told them his girlfriend had scratched him while they were arguing.

According to the report, Peckham told his girlfriend to come inside their home but she refused. He then told her that “it won’t be good for her” if she doesn’t come in within five minutes, the report shows.

Police said a neighbor who saw the incident said Peckham pulled the woman into the home as she was screaming for help.

The victim said Peckham beat and choked her, grabbed her by the hair, and slammed her face into the ground after forcing her inside the house. She was bleeding and had bruises on her face, police said.

Police took home surveillance video there as evidence.
