The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police have charged Animir Roberts, 22, with Indecent Liberties with a Child and First Degree Kidnapping.
According to CMPD, a 12-year-old boy waved down an officer Saturday evening. The boy told the officer that while walking on a wooded trail along Tuckaseegee Road, he was approached by a man who tried to force him deeper into the woods and then touched him inappropriately.
The victim was able to push and get away from Roberts and locate a police officer. CMPD says it quickly located and arrested Roberts.
