Police: Soldier stabbed ex-wife, held her captive

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A Fort Bragg soldier has been charged with attacking his ex-wife over the weekend and then holding her captive for hours, police said Monday.

Sgt. Vincent Mark Berry, 26, of Pepperbush Drive, was charged Sunday with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, first-degree kidnapping, assault on a female and communicating threats. He was being held under a $210,000 bond in the Cumberland County Detention Center on Monday afternoon.

Spc. Sherrell President said Berry stopped by her home on Geiberger Drive early Sunday. The couple divorced in December, police said.

President, who is newly pregnant, said Berry was "talking so crazy." They went to a bedroom, and he pulled out a chef knife he grabbed from the kitchen, she said.
