Police say a man has been charged with an attempted kidnapping of the mayor of Memphis after he went to the mayor’s house over the weekend and was later arrested with a taser, gloves, rope and duct tape in his vehicle.

A man was arrested after he allegedly attempted to kidnap Memphis Mayor Paul Young, police said. Trenton Abston, 25, was taken into custody on Wednesday after police saw public and private security camera footage that allegedly showed Abston scaling the wall to the mayor’s neighborhood.

The arrest in Tennessee comes just days after the murders of a state lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota and the wounding of another and his wife.
