WASHINGTON — Herndon police have arrested a man on charges of trying to kidnap a teenage girl in July.
On Tuesday, police arrested 40-year-old Jose Guadalupe Santamaria after police say he tried to kidnap a teen while she was waiting for a bus in Herndon on July 13, 2015.
Police say around 7 p.m., a teen girl was waiting for a bus when Santamaria, a Herndon resident, approached her and offered her money to come to his house. The girl says she refused and walked away.
