Fayetteville police are still
working to identify a man who forced his way into a woman's truck
at a convenience store last week, sparking a brief scuffle before she
escaped unharmed and he took off with the vehicle.
Police say the same man was
caught on video robbing a convenience store in Spalding County roughly
an hour and a half after he attacked the 26-year-old Fayetteville woman
at the Flash Foods convenience store on East Lanier Avenue at 4 a.m. Nov.
13, police said.
The first attempt to get a
good photo of the suspect off the video from the Spalding heist was unsuccessful,
according to police. But detectives planned to use an area college professor
who has special equipment that could produce a useable photo, said Lt.
Beverly Trainor of the Fayetteville Police Department.
The suspect was described as
a black male, 6-feet-1-inch tall, 230 pounds with a black shirt and blue
jeans, police said.
The man forced his way into
the woman's truck right after she parked at the Flash Foods parking
lot, police said. The woman tried to lock her door, but the attacker forced
his way in before she could do so, according to police.
The victim then briefly fought
with the man before exiting the vehicle unharmed, Trainor said. "She
kicked him and he kicked her."
Detectives have also sent off
fingerprint evidence to be processed at the state crime lab which may
help identify the suspect.
The woman's truck, a Ford
F-250, was found the next day in the parking lot of a hotel in Jonesboro
was missing, Trainor said, and it is not believed the suspect was staying
at that hotel.
The vehicle that was taken
in the Spalding County incident was later involved in a hit-and-run in
East Point, Trainor added.
