Published
The cryptocurrency investor who allegedly tortured a man for two weeks in a New York City apartment was arrested in just a bathrobe … and, TMZ has obtained video of the whole shocking scene.
John Woeltz — a 37-year-old from Kentucky — was arrested Friday in New York City after cops say a man told a police officer Woeltz had kept him trapped in a SoHo apartment for weeks.
Officers responded to the house … and pulled Woeltz from it in nothing but a bathrobe — without even shoes on.
While some of the arrest video has already made the rounds, we’ve obtained the clip in its entirety … capturing officers marching him downstairs and patting down his robed body on the street.
Officers check his legs, buttocks and even inside his robes … looking for any weapons or other contraband on his person. They don’t seem to find anything.
John is then whisked away … and, as we told you, he later emerged from New York City precinct in handcuffs.
Prosecutors allege Woeltz and a still-unapprehended suspect tortured a man beginning May 6 … claiming they shocked him with wires, hit him multiple times with a pistol and dangled him over a ledge while threatening his life.
Woeltz has been charged with first-degree kidnapping, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, second-degree assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
He appeared in court Saturday where a judge ordered he would be held without bail, and his passport was confiscated.
