A 32-year-old man is wanted on charges he and an accomplice held a Greeley couple against their will and threatened to kill them.

About 8:15 a.m. Jan. 5, police responded to a disturbance in the 2900 block of 11th Street Road, where a woman from a nearby home reported a man with a machete and a woman with a baseball bat had dragged her through her home before she was able to flee. She said her husband had jumped out of a window. He later appeared at the same residence while his wife was on the phone with dispatchers.

Police tried making contact with the occupants of the victim’s home, but there was no answer at the door. Police established a perimeter and caught Mica Meriah Osborn, 30, exiting the home.

In an interview at the police department, the victims explained they subleased a bedroom from Osborn. About a week before the disturbance, police were called to the home after 32-year-old Christopher Dockery arrived. The night of Jan. 4, he asked the tenants who called the police. Records don’t get specific about what was said, but the female victim believed Dockery didn’t appear upset after the conversation.

About 6:30-7 a.m. Jan. 5, the female victim awoke to see her husband coming into the bedroom, followed by Dockery holding a machete with an 18-inch blade and Osborn holding an aluminum baseball bat, according to arrest records. Dockery was hitting the machete against the wall and pointing the tip at the male victim’s chest, records state. The female victim said Dockery appeared to be upset and accused the victims of saying he raped Osborn, an accusation they never made.

Dockery said someone was going to arrive at the house and told Osborn to get a tarp to lay down in the basement, according to records. He said he wasn’t going back to prison, that he was going to kill himself and take the victims with him, arrest records state. The male victim said Dockery threatened to cut off the female victim’s head if no one told him why police were called the week prior.

The female victim said Dockery made her give up her cellphones to Osborn. The male victim jumped out of a bedroom window and fled. Dockery told Osborn to go after him, according to records.

The female victim said Dockery dragged her to the living room and threw clothes at her to put on. Wrapped in only a blanket, she ran out the front door of the house to seek help.

The male victim said he saw Dockery get into a grayish Chevrolet Malibu with Wyoming plates and drive off. A woman later returned to the home in the same car, saying she received a call from “Teddy,” who she believed to be Osborn’s ex. She was told to collect the keys at a supermarket parking lot in west Greeley, where she found it left with the keys in the ignition.

In a search of the house, police found the victims’ cellphones hidden inside a stuffed animal in the basement bedroom, a tarp in the main floor hallway and a baseball bat near the front door. A machete was found inside a BMW parked outside the home.

Osborn was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery, second-degree kidnapping and menacing with a weapon, as well as a drug charge for a tenth of a gram of presumptive positive cocaine that police reported finding on her during her arrest. She posted a $25,000 surety bond and was released to pretrial services on Jan. 7.

A warrant has been issued for Dockery’s arrest on suspicion of aggravated robbery, kidnapping and menacing. Dockery has a “970” neck tattoo. His last known address was in east Greeley.

Dockery was on parole and has convictions in four cases: a 2011 assault with a deadly weapon in Evans, a 2017 drug case in Larimer County, a 2019 drug case in Loveland and a 2019 attempted escape from felony conviction in Greeley.
