Wow, this story is on fire! Very bizarre. The links above now point to story updates. The original article was probably this:
Astronaut Charged With Kidnap Attempt (Thanks Drudge Report).

Seems the charges were upgraded to attempted murder. Police Report here.
Nowak has posted bail and is expected to return home to Houston.
