A man with a knife crawled through the window of a Kent coffee stand early Tuesday to kidnap and sexually assault a bikini barista, police said.
Less than a day after police released surveillange footage of the attack and pleaded with the public to identify him, they arrested a 33-year-old man with an extensive criminal history.
It was about 4:45 a.m. Tuesday when the man walked up to the window at Hottie Shots Espresso at 21237 84th Ave. S. and ordered a drink.
As the 30-year-old Bonney Lake barista started tending to his order, she said the man climbed in the window, threatened her with a knife and forced her into a dark alley near the stand. Another car pulling up apparently spooked him and he took off. The woman called 911. Other than a few scratches, police said she is OK. “We want to get this guy picked up,” Det. Melanie Robinson tol KOMO. “He's obviously a coward who preys on young women and females who are working in situations just like this, and he's a coward because there's nobody else around to protect them but themselves.” Police said the man may have fled in a dark-colored sedan with black rims that was seen in the area prior to the assault.
