He asked to use the girl’s phone before she got into the vehicle, an arrest affidavit states.
Hamilton drove her around the area and parked at a dead-end street, police said.
He exited the vehicle, went to the passenger’s side where the child was sitting and showed a “lethal cutting instrument,” according to the affidavit.
He sexually assaulted the girl and left her at the scene, police said. Officers were able to contact her and she gave them a description of the suspect.
Shortly after, Hamilton was found driving erratically near Interstate 10 and Foster Road, the affidavit states.

His bond has been set at $80,000.
