A Fairfield truck dispatcher accused of kidnapping and raping a 16-year-old girl was given a $400,000 bond during his arraignment Monday morning.
Forty-one-year-old Steven Toy had a video arrangement at the old Butler County Courthouse in downtown Hamilton, while he remains locked up at the Butler County Jail.
Toy is accused of taking a female relative from Colerain Township, driving her to one of his firm's trucks on Cincinnati Dayton Road in West Chester Friday and attacking her.
West Chester Police say the girl managed to escape from Toy and make her way to a nearby day care center where she called for help.
Police say her hands were bound.
Toy refused to hold his head up for the jail video conference camera saying, "I still have sleep in my eyes and haven't been able to properly clean up, while I've been in jail." The magistrate handling the arrangement accepted Toy's refusal.
He was given a $200,000 bond for each of the two charges of kidnap and rape. Together, the charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Toy is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.
