A 19-year-old Washington State man is facing a kidnapping charge for allegedly trying to pull a female employee out of the drive-thru window of the Ladybug Bikini Espresso stand and into his vehicle, according to a police report.

Investigators allege that Ezekiel Guerrero drove to the 24-hour coffee shop earlier this month and placed a 2:15 AM drink order with the female worker on duty.

While preparing Guerrero’s drink, the victim said she exchanged small talk with the customer, who was wearing a blue hat, a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey, and designer jeans. The woman said she handed Guerrero a clipboard with a receipt that needed his signature.

When Guerrero subsequently “partially extended” the clipboard back to the barista, she “reached out to accept it.” That is when Guerrero allegedly “grabbed [the victim] by the arm and attempted to pull her through the window toward his car.”

The woman told cops she braced her legs against a counter, which kept her from being pulled out the drive-thru window. The victim was able to shut the window, while the patron “fled the area.” When police interviewed the barista, she “was frantic and appeared genuinely frightened” and had red marks on her wrist, inner bicep, and shoulder.

This maniac wasn’t just driving around looking for a bikini barista to pull into his car. Documents say that he admitted to drinking alcohol and marijuana and that he was angry about losing his wallet and problems with his ex-girlfriend.
