On 03-15-2019 at about 7:15 pm, Mendocino County Sheriff's Office Deputies were dispatched to an attempted kidnapping of a child at "The Villas" apartment complex located at 175 Laws Avenue in Ukiah, California.
Upon arrival, Deputies learned an adult female was observed in the parking lot of the complex holding the hand of a seven year-old child and was physically leading the child away from the complex.
The child's family observed the adult female's actions and began to scream in her direction.
The child pulled his hand away from the adult female in fear and she left the area walking towards Laws Avenue and continuing east towards South State Street.
Based on the observations, the family believed the adult female was attempting to kidnap the child.
A clothing and physical description was provided which included distinctive clothing along with digital evidence following the incident with the child. Deputies searched the Laws Avenue and South State Street area for an extended period of time.
At about 8:00 PM, an adult female, who matched the clothing and physical description provided, was observed walking in the 1500 block of South State Street.
She was subsequently identified as being Demetrie Rose Pike and determined to be living in the 1500 block of South State Street, close to the incident scene.
Based on the information learned during the investigation, to include witness statements, Pike was arrested for kidnapping (207 (a) PC - Kidnapping) and subsequently booked into the Mendocino County Jail where she was to be held in lieu of $250,000.00 bail.
