SEATTLE — UPDATE: The suspect wanted after an attempted kidnapping and sexual assault of a 16-year-old that occurred in unincorporated King County has been identified and taken into custody.
Police said the suspect, Kevin J. Perkins, was in custody on Thursday at about 3 p.m. Perkins will be taken to King County Jail shortly, police said.
