Bikini-clad barista nearly abducted by teen creep who tried to yank her out drive-thru window
A 19-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly attempting to pull a bikini-clad barista through a drive-thru window at a 24-hour coffee stand in Lakewood, Washington.
The incident occurred around 2:15 a.m. on August 18 at Ladybug Bikini Espresso, a local chain where baristas wear bikinis or lingerie. According to a police report, Ezekiel Guerrero grabbed the female employee by the arm as she handed him a receipt to sign. Surveillance footage captured the moment the woman resisted the assault by bracing herself against the counter, ultimately managing to shut the window as the suspect fled in his car.
The barista sustained red marks on her wrist, arm, and shoulder but avoided serious injury. Police were able to identify Guerrero after he used a credit card for the transaction. He was arrested the following Monday.
During questioning, Guerrero reportedly admitted to the attempted abduction, attributing his behavior to alcohol and marijuana use. He also told officers he was feeling emotional about a recent breakup and had gone to the coffee stand to see a “pretty girl,” insisting he had no intention of causing harm.
He has been charged with first-degree attempted kidnapping and was released following arraignment, a decision that left the victim frustrated.
“I’m honestly just really upset that since he’s young and it’s his first offense, he got no bail or house arrest,” she said in a statement to FOX 13 Seattle. “If he’s committing violent acts like this at 19 years old, I’m not too confident that he won’t do that again to someone else who might end up less fortunate than I did.”
Incidents like this are not isolated in Washington, where bikini barista stands have become targets for aggressive and inappropriate behavior. Local authorities continue to investigate the case.
