A 35-year-old man was arrested and charged in a kidnapping case after deputies rescued a 15-year-old girl he had taken at gunpoint, according to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar.
Around 12:30 p.m. Friday, a group of three teens, including the girl and two other high school-aged boys, were all in a vehicle in southwest Bexar County.
The man in the Ram pickup, identified as Alexander McCormick, physically cut off the vehicle the teens were in before exiting the truck and holding them at gunpoint, according to the sheriff.McCormick demanded the girl get out of the vehicle and into his truck, and she agreed to go with him, fearing for her safety, Salazar said.Salazar said words were exchanged at the home, and the teen and man agreed to take her to a park to drop her off.
Unbeknownst to her, the teen left behind had communicated with BCSO. Deputies came up with a plan and rescued the girl from the park while also detaining McCormick, Salazar said. McCormick is charged with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony, and aggravated assault with a weapon, a second-degree felony. Both charges carry a bond of $60,000 each, Salazar said.
