Man Arrested For Attack, Attempted Kidnapping In Jackson County

(Salem, OR) -- A man is facing several charges after allegedly attacking a young woman and trying to kidnap her in southern Oregon. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office says 42-year-old Matthew Aranda posed as a utility worker and attacked a 25-year-old woman with a taser last week. The woman managed to escape after a neighbor intervened, but Aranda tased the elderly neighbor and chased the woman down with a large hunting knife. The woman managed to get into a car and drive away, with Aranda allegedly jumping onto the car as she did so. Police found him injured and hiding in a bush nearby.
