Late-Night Bikini Barista Attack: Surveillance, Bodycam & Suspect Interview Released

Late-night at Ladybug Espresso in Lakewood, WA turned terrifying when a 19-year-old customer suddenly tried to drag a bikini barista through his car window. Surveillance cameras captured the shocking moment as the suspect grabbed her arm, leaving visible red marks.

Police bodycam footage shows officers responding to the frantic call, while investigators later tracked the suspect using a signed receipt and surveillance hits. In a recorded interview, the teen admits he was the one in the photos.

He was arrested and charged with first-degree attempted kidnapping before being released pending trial.

These moments don’t define a person.
Whether influenced by substances, struggling with mental illness, or just facing a bad day, what you see here isn’t the sum of their identity, its just a slice of time.
Everyone deserves to be treated with decency.
