A man is now charged with kidnapping a woman in Dubuque. 58 year old Michael Uhlrich is now charged with first-degree kidnapping. He has pleaded not guilty. Uhlrich was initially charged in the incident with third-degree sexual abuse, but that charge was not filed in his trial information. In a report, a woman contacted police on August 13th to report she had been sexually assaulted the night before. The woman said she had blacked out at some point in the night. She reported waking up in what she thought was an abandoned house and being sexually assaulted. The woman later identified Uhlrich as the man involved in the incident. Traffic camera footage shows the woman on the ground and Uhlrich approaching her, picking her up and walking with her on the street. Uhlrich’s next court appearance is set for October 3rd.
