Just before 4p.m. Saturday police responded to an attempted abduction call at a home in the 2500 block of South Roosevelt in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers contacted a 28-year-old woman and her 12-year-old daughter.

Officers obtained a description of Lara-Aguilera from the girl, and he was located in the 2900 block of South Hillside in Wichita and arrested without further incident.
Lara-Aguilera's next court date is May 28, according to the district attorney's office.
