An Ohio firefighter has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge after prosecutors dropped several more serious charges stemming from allegations that she handcuffed her boyfriend to a railing and later refused to let him leave her home.

Kenasia Guilford, 33, an EMT and firefighter with the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department, entered a plea Tuesday to aggravated trespassing, according to local news reports.

The case stems from a Sept. 22 incident involving a fellow firefighter who serves as a captain in the same department and was reportedly in a relationship with Guilford.

Prosecutors initially charged Guilford with abduction, burglary, and two counts of theft. They reduced the burglary charge to misdemeanor aggravated trespassing and dismissed the abduction and theft charges.

According to WTVG, the man agreed to let Guilford handcuff him to a staircase railing at her home. Police allege that she later refused to release him, forcing him to find a way to free himself.

The man reportedly called a friend around 4 a.m. after escaping. In a 911 call obtained by the outlet, the friend relayed the man’s account of what had happened to dispatchers.

The recording captured the moments after the alleged incident, when the friend described the man’s attempts to escape the restraints and worried that he had suffered an injury.

“And he said he had to gnaw — she handcuffed him to some railing or something. He said he had to fight his way off of there, so he might be injured; I don’t know,” the caller said.

The friend told authorities he picked the man up and drove him home. The friend said the victim was still wearing the handcuffs when he found him.

Police later cut them off. The friend then allegedly spotted Guilford outside in the dark, heading toward the man’s residence. Police later located her inside the residence based on the information.

Police said Guilford entered the home without permission and later found her in an upstairs bedroom. Investigators also accused her of taking the man’s phone, car, and house keys.

The allegations led to multiple charges, but prosecutors ultimately dismissed most of them before Guilford entered her no-contest plea. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but it allows a court to enter a finding of guilt and impose a sentence.

Guilford’s attorney, Richard Mitchell, said the events stemmed from a personal relationship and suggested his client had learned upsetting information.

“This series of incidents stems from a paramour situation, where some information was learned by the defendant that would make anyone have substantial concern and was traumatic,” Mitchell said during a Sept. 28 hearing.

Guilford’s sentencing hearing is set for Dec. 2.
