The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public's help in identifying an attempted kidnapping suspect. On Monday, Jan. 16 at approximately 4:56 p.m. the suspect, who has frequented the location, went into the CVS Pharmacy located at 1980 N. Carson Street.
After loitering in the store for approximately an hour and a half, the suspect grabbed an employee by the wrist and pulled her outside of the store. The employee was able to break the suspect’s grasp and returned inside the store to safety and called 911.
The suspect is not associated to any vehicles and appeared to walk to the CVS Pharmacy from the downtown area, according the the sheriff's office.
The suspect is described as a 22 to 26-year-old Hispanic male approximately 5’6” tall with an average build. The suspect was last seen wearing tan or khaki pants, with a black hooded sweatshirt.
The hooded sweatshirt has white vertical stripes at the shoulder, with red “49ers” writing on the chest and red inside the hood. The suspect was also wearing white shoes and a black baseball cap with a white logo in the center.
