Mesa PD arrest man wanted for sexual assault, kidnapping

MESA, Ariz. - Mesa Police have arrested a man who was wanted for sexual assault and kidnapping in two different incidents over the past two weeks.

Carl Creamer, 44, was taken into custody in Phoenix on Sunday.

On Aug. 16 at 8 p.m., Creamer reportedly offered a woman a ride near Alma School Road and Main Street. When she went into the vehicle, Creamer pulled out a handgun, drove into a parking lot and sexually assaulted her, police said.

Two weeks later, on Aug. 26, Creamer drove up to a different woman at a bus stop near Stapley and Southern Avenue and offered her a ride. After she went inside the suspect's vehicle, Creamer again drove to a parking lot and pulled out a handgun. He attempted to sexually assault her but she was able to escape, according to officials.
