PALMDALE (AP) — Authorities allege an 81-year-old registered sex offender tried to lure a 12-year-old girl into his car near Palmdale, and he’s now under arrest on suspicion of attempted kidnapping.

The Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that Keith Holmes, of Pearblossom, was held Sunday on $1 million bail.

The statement says the girl was walking as her parents watched from a distance Saturday when Holmes pulled up and asked if she wanted a ride, and stayed next to her after she refused. He sped away as the mother confronted him, but she got his license number and he was later arrested.

Deputies say they found evidence in Holmes’s vehicle showing an intent to kidnap, but would not elaborate.

Holmes is on probation after two convictions for molesting or annoying a child.

    Palmdale is filled with registered sex offenders. All one needs to do is check out meganslaw.ca.gov. That’s what all of you stupid idiots get for living in the middle of nowhere ALL BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BUY A CHEAPER HOUSE. I rather rent in Burbank then buy a 10 bedroom house for 100K in horrific Palmdale.

      Thats what happens when you try to be cheap and live with the inbreds. I did not know regular people live in Palmdale, I thought is was a sanctuary for child molesters and meth heads?
