BURLINGTON — A Burlington man was being held without bail in Whatcom County Jail after his arrest on suspicion of trying to kidnap a teenage girl last month in the Glenhaven area south of Bellingham.
Paul David Donston, 43, was arrested Wednesday morning, Oct. 26, and booked into jail.
Skagit County sheriff’s deputies arrested Donston at his home and transferred custody to Whatcom County deputies, who had conducted the investigation, Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Deb Slater told The Bellingham Herald.
Donston is facing charges of kidnapping and luring in connection with a Sept. 13 incident near Glenhaven and Alder drives, according to a probable cause affidavit filed with Whatcom County Superior Court.
In that incident, a man tried to persuade a 13-year-old girl who was walking along the road to get in his car, according to court documents.
