The man, who is not being identified to protect his wife's identity, approached her car at the dentist's office on Starkey Road in Southwest County. That was at about 10 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
The man approached the car, pushed her to the other side of the car, and then drove her to his home in Vinton, police said.
At his home, the man allegedly raped his 40-year-old wife, from whom he has been estranged a month, police said.
