A transient worker from Texas accused of attacking a Waupun woman has been convicted. A Fond du Lac County jury Wednesday found 23 year old Juan Antonio Arriaga guilty of attempted kidnapping, intimidation of a victim, false imprisonment, battery and disorderly conduct. Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney says he is pleased with the verdict. “We had a really great police officer who saw something that didn’t look right. He made contact and stopped what could have been a really bad situation,” Toney told WFDL news. Waupun police chief Scott Louden says last November 24th the officer noticed a man who appeared to be following a woman. The woman than began screaming for help. The suspect fled the scene and was apprehended a short time later. The judge revoked bail and a sentencing hearing will be scheduled.
