A bikini-clad barista was nearly kidnapped when a creepy teen customer allegedly tried to yank her through the drive-thru window of a sultry coffee stand in Washington state.
Ezekiel Guerrero, 19, was busted after violently grabbing the barista by the arm and trying to pull her into his car during a late-night pit stop at Ladybug Bikini Espresso — where servers sport bikinis or lingerie — around 2:15 a.m. on Aug. 18, according to a police report.
Police said the attempted abduction, captured on security footage, at the shop’s Lakewood location occurred after the female worker handed the disturbing patron a receipt on a clipboard to sign.
The victim — left with red marks on her wrist, bicep, and shoulder — narrowly escaped the terrifying ordeal by planting her legs against the counter during the brief struggle. After breaking free, she slammed the drive-thru window shut while the deranged attacker drove off, the report stated.
Guerrero, who used a credit card to pay for his order, was tracked down and cuffed Monday afternoon.
The kidnapping suspect allegedly confessed to his horrific actions, blaming alcohol and weed for his behavior, according to the police report.
He also told police he was “sad” over his ex and had only gone to the 24/7 coffee shop to see a “pretty girl,” claiming he never intended to harm anyone.
Guerrero was reportedly charged with first-degree attempted kidnapping and released after being arraigned.
“I’m honestly just really upset that since he’s young and it’s his first offense that he got no bail, or house arrest,” the shaken victim said in a lengthy statement to FOX 13 Seattle.
“If he’s committing violent acts like this at the rip age of 19 years old, I’m not too confident that he won’t do that again to someone else who might end up less fortunate than I did.”
Other scantily-clad baristas in Washington state — where bikini coffee shops are popular — have faced equally terrifying encounters with strong-armed male customers.
