The 32-year-old man accused of attempting to kidnap a girl in Littleton in April waived his preliminary hearing on June 17. The next court hearing will be an arraignment on July 28, during which formal charges against Andrew Salazar will be presented.

Salazar will also enter a plea during the arraignment, and the judge could potentially set bail and conditions of release, as well as future court dates. 

Alleged Littleton kidnapping suspect Andrew Salazar was assigned a July 28 arraignment date

According to the arrest affidavit, a juvenile female was riding a bicycle in a Littleton residential neighborhood on April 19 and reported that Salazar approached her from behind, attempting to grab her, but he let go after she screamed. Littleton police said that the girl was injured in the incident.

Police searched the area of the incident and arrested Salazar later that day after reviewing camera footage from the area. 

The affidavit also states that Salazar first saw the girl “in the park but there were too many people around.” 

Salazar remains in custody on a $100,000 bond.
