Shortly after noon on Wednesday, July 17, Farmville Police responded to the area of N. Virginia Street and Second Street for a reported attempted abduction.  

According to a release from the Town of Farmville Police, a woman complainant advised that as she was walking on N. Virginia Street between Third Street and Second Street, a white male, driving a maroon/burgundy SUV, stopped abruptly, exited his vehicle, grabbed her and attempted to pull her into his vehicle.  

The victim reported fighting back, possibly scratching his face with a set of keys, and after breaking free, running from the scene.  

The suspect is described as a tall, thin, white male, between the ages of 30 and 40, having a goatee (no mustache) and sandy brown hair that was shaved close on the sides.  The suspect reportedly had tattoos on his left arm and was wearing a white tank top shirt and wire-rimmed eyeglasses.

Any person with information related to his incident is asked to call Detective S. L. Entrekin at 434-392-9259.
