A 41-year-old Silver Spring man was charged with false imprisonment and harassment after Montgomery County police said he stalked a 15-year-old girl Silver Spring girl.
Jose Cabrera, of the 14400 block of Good Hope Road, first approached the girl on Oct. 30 while she was walking on the 700 block of Orchard Way in Colesville. He pulled up to her in a silver BMW convertible, asked her questions and then drove away, police said.
The next day, Cabrera drove up to the girl again as she got off her school bus. He yelled at her to get in the car, and, fearing for her safety, the girl complied, police said. Cabrera gave her a cell phone and threatened her with harm if she told anyone, police said. He let her off near her home.
On Nov. 5, the girl’s parents spotted Cabrera’s BMW near their home. They called police with a description of the car. He is being held on $20,000 bail.
