Man is charged with attempted kidnapping in Mission attack

Johnson County prosecutors have accused a 33-year-old Overland Park man of attacking a woman Monday night outside a Mission grocery store.

On Wednesday they charged Bradlee Earl Lloyd Campbell with aggravated battery and attempted aggravated kidnapping. His bond was set at $250,000.

According to Mission police, the assault happened just before 7:30 p.m. Monday as the woman loaded groceries into her car in the 6600 block of Martway Street.

The attacker had a knife and tried to force the victim into her vehicle, police said. She fought back and escaped but suffered several cuts.

Police from several other cities helped Mission officers set up a perimeter. A police dog from Olathe was brought in to help.

Campbell was arrested after he was seen climbing down from the roof of a nearby building. His home address listed in jail records is less than a mile from where the attack happened.

Campbell has prior convictions for theft and second-degree assault while driving intoxicated, according to area court records.
