(KSL News) -- An accused kidnapper showed up in court yesterday and found out he's facing new charges.

Police say Robert Ersol Berchtold kidnapped a 41-year-old woman twice when she was a child.

Now, they believe, last month, Berchtold attacked a volunteer guard at a St. George conference the woman attended.

He was arrested under the new charges based on witness interviews.

Berchtold was out of jail on $970 bail, but now he's back behind bars.

This time it will take $19,250 to free him.
