Ortiz Skips Hearing, Faces Serious Charges | Boise News

Javier Ortiz, the 26-year-old accused of a brutal attack on the Boise Greenbelt in July, skipped his preliminary hearing — sending his case straight to district court with serious charges including attempted kidnapping and aggravated assault. Facing a $1 million bond, Ortiz admitted to grabbing the victim but claims she struck him first with her purse. Prosecutors say he violently overpowered an unknown woman, while witnesses and a 911 call helped break the standstill. His formal arraignment is set for Wednesday, September 23rd — as this high-stakes legal battle unfolds, it’s a chilling reminder of how fast violence can escalate — and why community vigilance matters.
