Police say a man broke into the woman’s home on Nov. 7 about 6 a.m. and demanded money.
He bound her before locking her inside her car’s trunk, then drove around before parking the vehicle in a lot at a mall.
The woman told police she eventually freed herself from the trunk.
Police say the woman was treated at a hospital for an injured sternum. Her name hasn’t been released.
