An Oahu grand jury has returned an indictment, charging a 45-year-old man who allegedly attempted to carry off a 9-year-old girl from an arcade at Ala Moana Center.
The grand jury charged Jason Dee Nolen Wednesday with attempted kidnapping and third-degree sexual assault. His arraignment is set for Monday at Circuit Court.

On March 19 at Lucky Strike Social, police said a male suspect later identified as Nolen followed the girl around the arcade and allegedly touched her buttocks.
She walked away and entered a video game booth. According to a court document, Nolen followed her and “from behind, grabbed her from her crotch area” and lifted her off the ground.
The girl managed to break free after she kicked him. Police said Nolen immediately fled the arcade.
