The Auburn Police Department arrested a suspect Tuesday afternoon they believe to be the person who tried to abduct a barista early Monday morning, Jan. 16.<\/p>\n

Security camera footage<\/a> caught the suspect trying to pull the barista through a window with a device that appears to include a looped zip tie. The barista fought off the attacker, who then drove away.<\/p>\n

“We arrested him at his home in Auburn,” Kolby Crossley, public information officer for the Auburn Police Department, said early Tuesday afternoon. “We conducted a quick search of the vehicle and found evidence linking him to the scene.”<\/p>\n

Police quickly got the word out that they were looking for a man with a distinct tattoo on his left forearm that appeared to read “Chevrolet.” And the public responded big time.<\/p>\n

“The overwhelming support from the community was tremendous. They were a great help in identifying the suspect,” Crossley said.<\/p>\n

Auburn Police did not release an address for the coffee stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
