A man suspected of trying to kidnap a 7-year-old girl at Skyline Elementary in Solana Beach last month was arrested in Orange County, authorities said.
Jack Henry Doshay, 22, of Fairbanks Ranch was taken into custody at a Laguna Niguel home about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff's officials said the man went to the school on March 23 at around 3:30 p.m., just as school was letting out. He ordered the girl to get into his silver and black SUV. When she refused, he drove away.
Doshay was booked into county jail in Vista on suspicion of kidnapping, false imprisonment with violence and child cruelty. He was being held without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Friday afternoon.
Doshay is the son of Glenn Doshay, a stake holder in the San Diego Padres, according to U-T San Diego.
Detectives followed up on about 150 tips in the case before tracking down the suspect with information provided by defense attorney, Paul Pfingst, Sheriff Bill Gore told reporters during a briefing. Officials declined to disclose Doshay's connection to the San Joaquin Hills-area neighborhood where he was arrested.
The victim's father, Mike Paeske, praised investigators for capturing the man who is suspected of victimizing his daughter.
"San Diego County families can sleep a little better knowing that one less threat is out there on the streets," Paeske said during the news conference at sheriff's headquarters in Kearny Mesa.
Paeske also commended his child for her reactions to the abduction attempt, saying the alleged perpetrator "messed with the wrong girl."
"She is our inspiration and our hero," Paeske said.
