Akron man sentenced for kidnapping woman

A 34 year old Akron man, who was set to go on trial this week on charges related to the abduction and beating of a woman while she was confined for 4 days in a residential garage, was sentenced to prison after entering a guilty plea on Tuesday. William Mozingo was sentenced to 20 to 30 and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping, felonious assault, abduction, and strangulation. In October 2023, Akron police arrested Mozingo after they found him and a 23 year old woman in a garage in Akron’s Kenmore neighborhood. Mozingo held the woman against her will in an overhead space in the garage.
