MAITLAND, Fla. -- A woman said a man tried to kidnap her on Wednesday morning in front of her Maitland office.
She said she drove to her office at the corner of Lucien Way and Lake Destiny Drive, and when she got out of her car, another one pulled up beside her and a man jumped out.
She told police that he grabbed her and put her into his car, but the car wouldn't start, WESH 2 News reported.
She said when he got out to check under the hood, she locked all the doors and rolled up the windows.
She said she then began honking the horn to draw attention, and the man fled on foot.
Somebody else called the police.
Officials said the man was caught on state Road 434 in Altamonte Springs about 90 minutes later and taken to the Maitland Police Department to be questioned. Police said they are interviewing Edwin Arvelo, 21.
Investigators said he has two prior arrests for indecent exposure and trying to procure a prostitute.
The woman is being examined, although police said they do not believe she was sexually assaulted. They are searching her for DNA because she said she struggled with the man.

This happened in our parking garage, which is specifically used by our company. The kid grabbed her by the throat and threw her in his car, she locked him out while he was still outside and then he took off.
She is a newlywed and obviously this is a trauma for her. What worries me the most is, not just that it happened and happened here (We are in a high foot traffic area, alot of people walking back and forth) but that this kid is 21, obviously he is already a predator but if nothing happens to him or he doesn't get the help (mostly prison time but someone should try and figure him out) he will be a pro in about 5 more years.
