The 33-year-old suspect accused of attacking and attempting to rape a Kent barista waived his first court appearance.

Police booked the suspect on suspicion of burglary, kidnapping, and assault. The man has an extensive criminal history and was taken into custody without incident at his workplace Wednesday.

Surveillance video released Tuesday captured the assault at the Hottie Shots espresso stand.

Police say the attacker forced the barista outside of the stand in an attempt to sexually assault her, but a car pulling into the drive-thru scared him off.

A judge on Thursday set his bail at $1 million. He is expected in court Friday.
