David Bradley of was ordered held on $350,000 bond Wednesday. He is charged in an eight-count indictment of kidnapping, criminal impersonation and other crimes.

Attorney Anthony LaPinta said Bradley pleaded not guilty. He declined further comment.

The 39-year-old suspect was arrested June 11 after police said he handcuffed and briefly detained a 19-year-old man while posing as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. The teen was later released.

The indictment charges Bradley also posed as a federal agent on June 6, May 10 and twice on May 4.

Police said last week that Bradley also identified himself as an ICE agent in a failed attempt to gain access to a crime scene in one of the May 4 incidents.

If convicted of kidnapping, Bradley could be sentenced to up to 25 years.

Prosecutors are trying to determine if there are other victims.
