Ohio Man Attacks Cop With Pen After Arrest For Botched Kidnapping Of Kindergartener | Oxygen Official Site
An Ohio man who allegedly attempted to kidnap a child from a kindergarten classroom last week later tried stabbing an investigator with a pen during his interrogation, video shows.
An Ohio kidnapping suspect tried to stab a police officer with a pen before he was quickly subdued, footage of the jailhouse attack revealed on Thursday.
Reid Duran, 35, had agreed to be questioned on Monday after police encountered him at St. Brigid Catholic School in Xenia, about 15 miles east of downtown Dayton, and he was taken to an interview room at the Xenia Justice Center, officials said.
Duran had been at St. Brigid's open house and lied about being the parent a kindergartener, officials said, before suspicious school staff called police.
The suspect allegedly told police later he was attempting to kidnap a 5-year-old girl.
"Duran did make statements to the investigating detective claiming that he intended to give his victim candy laced with tranquilizers, but there is no verification that the candy found on him at the time of his interaction with the Xenia Police officers had any sort of drug on it," according to a police statement.
Duran was charged with attempted kidnapping, felonious assault and escape, police said.
