The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Joshua James Freyermuth, was initially arrested days before the alleged attempted kidnapping incident after community members reported suspicious activity. He was charged with drug-related offenses, but at that time, police said there was no reason to suspect he was planning to kidnap children. Freyermuth was arrested again two days later after he allegedly tried to pull a child from a porch.
