A 31-year-old man who allegedly tried to abduct a student walking near Mountain Range High School was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery, kidnapping and attempted kidnapping, according to the Westminster Police Department.
Police began investigating after a girl walking to school near West 125th Avenue and Delaware Street on the morning of Oct. 25 reported that a man in a silver vehicle had approached her, threatened her with a gun and told her to get in.
The girl refused, and the man grabbed her backpack and took off, according to police officials.
Investigators identified Jeremiah Mullins as a suspect and arrested him in the 12000 block of North Melody Drive hours later, Westminster police said in a news release Friday.
