Man takes deal, pleads guilty to attempted kidnapping of Westminster student

A 32-year-old man took a deal and pleaded guilty Tuesday to three felonies in an attempted kidnapping near Mountain Range High School last year, according to court records.

Jeremiah Mullins pleaded guilty to second-degree motor vehicle theft, aggravated robbery and attempted second-degree kidnapping, court records show.

The deal dropped nine other felony charges from his case, including three counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of attempted second-degree kidnapping and one count each of second-degree kidnapping, attempted aggravated robbery, vehicular eluding and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.

It also dismissed two violent crime sentence enhancers, according to the plea deal document.

Mullins was arrested in October after he approached a girl walking to school near West 125th Avenue and Delaware Street in Westminster.

Police said Mullins threatened the girl with a gun and told her to get in his car. When the girl refused, Mullins grabbed her backpack and took off, police said.

Mullins was previously arrested in 2019 after he kidnapped an Aurora woman while she was warming up her car.

His sentencing hearing in the Westminster attempted kidnapping case is scheduled for July 29, according to court records.
