A Lake Charles man is being accused of trying to kidnap a 15-year-old girl Thursday morning.
The victim told investigators that a white male driving a black SUV stopped and asked her if she needed a ride, Treadway said. When the victim said no, the suspect drove away.
After driving back by multiple times, the victim told investigators the suspect stopped and exited his vehicle before placing his arm around her, saying that he wanted to drive her.
Treadway says the victim was able to escape after striking the suspect in the face, who fled the scene.
Video evidence from the scene helped to identify Frederick’s vehicle, Treadway said. LCPD swat team arrested Frederick during a traffic stop at Ernest and West College streets.
