The 24-year-old suspect was charged with sexual battery, kidnapping, and assault with intent to commit a felony.
CONCORD — A 24-year-old man has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman who bailed from his moving car to escape, authorities said.
The details behind Mendoza-Uribe were distressing to police as well as the alleged victim, who called 911 after being pulled into Mendoza-Uribe’s vehicle, but was unable to articulate exactly what was going on. The dispatcher was met with the sound of her screaming at Mendoza-Uribe to stop the attack, followed by sounds consistent with a fight, authorities said.
When officers tracked down the victim, she said she was leaving a 7-Eleven on Monument Boulevard a little after 2 a.m. when Mendoza-Uribe approached in a Honda Accord and asked her a question. She said she couldn’t hear what he said, but when she walked next to the car and opened the door to better hear him, he pulled her inside and grabbed her breasts, authorities said.
