A 25-year-old man faces charges of burglary and attempting to kidnap a minor.
Jamison Joyner is being held in Louisville Metro Center of Corrections on a $150,000 bond after allegedly entering a home in the 1000 block of Trevillian Way and accosting a young girl around 9 p.m. Saturday.
Witnesses said Joyner came into the home without anyone noticing. According to an arrest report, the girl said Joyner came into her room upstairs and walked around for a couple of minutes.
Documents said Joyner took a sheet and wrapped it around her and then picked her up and tried to leave with her.
She fought with her would-be abductor and yelled out, alerting her father, who was downstairs.
Documents said the father chased the suspect out of the house.
Police arrested Joyner an hour and a half later at the corner of Belmar Drive and Popular Level Road, less than a block from the family’s house.
A not-guilty plea was entered on Joyner’s behalf.
