KCSO makes arrest for Aggravated Kidnapping

The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division gained information regarding an Aggravated Kidnapping with a Deadly Weapon that took place in Kerr County on October 16. The alleged victim made credible claims supported by evidence that she had been kidnapped, held against her will and assaulted by a male suspect, according to a press release.

Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for 28-year old Adrian Ornelas, of Kerrville, and tracked the suspect to an address in Bexar County, where he was arrested after a multiple-hour standoff with law enforcement officials from KCSO and the DPS Special Response Team.

Ornelas was booked into the Kerr County Jail on a $500,000 bond, and additional charges may be added. As in all criminal cases, charges may be added or modified prior to trial, and all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha issued a statement saying, “This is a disturbing case, and we are pleased to have Mr. Ornelas in custody. The crimes alleged to have been perpetrated by this suspect are personal, violent and shocking.”
