The man who allegedly yanked a Utah woman out of her minivan and drove off with her 4-year-old daughter has been charged with kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

Derek L. Orr, 29, was charged with the first-degree felonies in 3rd District Court; his bail was set at $250,000.

At 1:16 p.m. on May 16, a woman was stopped in the left-turn lane on 2100 South at 645 East when a man “opened her door and demanded she get out of the car.” He “pushed [her] out of the minivan and drove away” with the 4-year-old girl still in the back seat, according to a probable cause statement.
