Greenville – A Greenville man is expected to plead guilty today to a charge of aggravated kidnapping for allegedly abducting a woman gunpoint in January 2008.

Damien La Pierre Patton is said to have ordered the woman into his car while brandishing a gun at a Car Wash in the 3900 block of Lee Street.

The victim told officers that Patton threatened to kill her and struck her in the face. Officers recovered a .45 caliber handgun from his vehicle.
