ALBERT LEA, Minn. – A 23 year old Albert Lea man accused in connection to a 2020 kidnapping has accepted a plea deal in the case. Rodolfo Valdez was arrested last October after the Albert Lea Police Department says a man reported in May 2020 that he had been abducted a month earlier after being lured on a date with a woman in which he wound up being attacked by two men. Valdez pleaded guilty Friday to one count of simple robbery. His sentencing is scheduled for May 20.
