A domestic dispute sparked a two-county search Wednesday night for a North Port man who allegedly attacked and kidnapped his girlfriend from their home at knifepoint, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.

Preston Johnson IV, 26, of Brownwood Terrace, was charged with aggravated battery and kidnapping after his eventual arrest at Peace River Regional Medical Center, a sheriff’s report states, concluding a manhunt that took place on both the ground and in the air.
