A Fayetteville man tried to

kidnap his girlfriend outside of Fayetteville Intermediate School Monday

morning but was arrested minutes after the incident, police said.

The dispute began earlier at

the Weatherly Walk apartment complex, where Michael Craddock, 39, pushed

the woman into the headboard of a bed, causing a head injury, according

to police.

The victim, who was slightly

injured, got away from Craddock, who later tried to force her into his

truck at the school's parking lot, said Lt. Beverly Trainor of the

Fayetteville Police Department.

None of the students were in

danger, Trainor added.

A description of the truck

was broadcast to officers in the area, who pulled Craddock over on Ga.

Highway 85 north near the Krystal restaurant. He was arrested at the scene.

Craddock was charged with one

felony count of kidnapping and one misdemeanor count of simple battery.
