Man who attempted to kidnap Westminster student gets 25 years in prison

A man who attempted to kidnap a student near Mountain Range High School in Westminster last year was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years in prison, according to court records.

Jeremiah Mullins, 32, took a deal and pleaded guilty last month to three felony charges: attempted second-degree kidnapping, aggravated robbery and second-degree motor vehicle theft.

Mullins was sentenced to 25 years for attempted kidnapping, 25 years for aggravated robbery and 12 years for motor vehicle theft, court records show. All three sentences will be served concurrently.

The 32-year-old was arrested in October after he threatened a student with a gun and told her to get into his car near West 125th Avenue and Delaware Street in Westminster, police said.

When the girl refused, Mullins grabbed her backpack and took off.

Mullins was previously arrested in 2019 for abducting an Aurora woman who was warming up her car.

The kidnapping charges in that case were dropped, along with several other felony charges, after he took a deal and pleaded guilty to attempted robbery, court records show.
