Beaver County man accused of trying to kidnap woman

BADEN, Pa. — A Beaver County man is behind bars after police say he attempted to kidnap one of his neighbors Tuesday evening.

“I didn’t know what he was going to do,” the victim, who did not want to be identified, told Channel 11’s Andrew Havranek.

The incident happened Tuesday in Baden, according to the Beaver Valley Regional Police Department.

The victim said she was sitting on her own porch when a neighbor, whom she said she’d never met before, came over and started harassing her.

Police identified him as Kevin Alexander Flores, 24, of Baden.

She said he told her he was drunk and high, “and then proceeded to say how pretty I was and that he would marry me.”

A neighbor across the street started walking toward the woman and Flores. That’s when she said Flores asked her what apartment hers was, grabbed her from behind and started dragging her into her apartment!

“He just grabbed me up and just dragged me,” she said. “I never would have expected that.”

She said she grabbed onto her doorframe, and it took five or six neighbors to get Flores off of her.

“My arms are all bruised and cut up, my back, my legs, my chest,” she said.

Police said Flores was actually the first to call 911, claiming he was in a fight with three men across the street. He told police they “wanted to have sex with him.”

Police said they quickly found out that wasn’t the case.

Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible said he’s thankful for this woman’s neighbors.

“Oftentimes, it’s easier for people to not get involved. I want to personally thank these good Samaritans that stepped in to help this girl, and I truly wish more people were like that,” Bible said.

The woman said they are heroes.

“I don’t know what he would have done if they weren’t here,” she said.

Flores is in the Beaver County Jail facing attempted kidnapping, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, simple assault, disorderly conduct, harassment and public drunkenness charges.
