MODESTO (CBS13) – A man is facing attempted homicide and other charges after an incident in Modesto over the weekend.

Modesto police say a 14-year-old was found at a park near Grayson on Sunday morning. The teen had apparently been assaulted and robbed earlier near Crater Avenue in Modesto.

Wednesday, detectives served a search warrant at a home in that neighborhood and arrested 26-year-old Jose Luis Moncada.

Moncada is now facing attempted homicide, robbery and kidnapping charges.
