A man has been arrested and charged with attempted kidnapping and stalking the mayor of Memphis, Tennessee. When police arrested 25-year-old Trenton Abston this week, they recovered a Taser, gloves, rope and duct tape from his vehicle. Police said Abston scaled a wall at the mayor’s residence on Sunday.

The suspect was apprehended and charged after police investigated "suspicious activity" in Mayor Paul Young's neighborhood, the Memphis Police Department said Wednesday.

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.
