Monongahela Man Arrested For Promoting Prostitution

A Monongahela man is in custody after being charged with sexual assault, promoting prostitution, therroristic threats and false imprisonment. Authorities say 32-year-old Nikolaus Breland was arrested after an eighteen-year-old woman texted 9-1-1 on Sunday, claiming she was being held against her will. Police say they determined that she was at a home in the 700 block of West Main Street and a SWAT Team was called in. They say Breland met the woman through a dating app when she lived in New Jersey. Police say the woman claims they were living together in hotels and Breland would ask her to have sex with other people and she was not allowed to go anywhere without him. Police say a search of the residence turned up a chain with a pair of handcuffs leading to a mattress on the floor.
