A pretrial hearing is coming later this month for an Emporia man accused of kidnapping, indecent liberties and other counts.
Daniel Olivarez stands accused of holding several people inside an Emporia home at gunpoint, having one of the alleged victims drive him to another location and then forcing a better than three-hour standoff before surrendering to local authorities as part of a lengthy incident in Emporia this past January. He’s formally charged with aggravated indecent liberties, aggravated kidnapping, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, aggravated residential burglary, aggravated battery and aggravated assault among other charges.
As part of a preliminary hearing Monday, Olivarez was set for a pretrial and arraignment hearing May 24. Bond was tripled from $50,000 to $150,000.
