COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — Coeur D’Alene police have arrested a man at the office of the Coeur d’Alene Press for investigation of kidnapping and attempted rape charges.
KXLY-TV reported that a 27-year-old woman was working alone in the newspaper office on Sunday morning when a subcontractor for the paper came into the building and told her a friend was waiting outside to talk to her.
Police say the woman followed 44-year-old Jason Edwards, who grabbed her, verbally threatened her and held a knife to her stomach. She was able to break free and take his knife. Edwards was cut in his hand during the struggle.
The woman ran back into the building, locked the door and called police. Police say Edwards chased her but was not able to get back inside.
