A woman was attacked while walking in her neighborhood by a garbage man, police say.
The 46-year-old female victim was in the area Bobwhite Drive, near Hope Road in Stafford, when a green trash truck pulled up next to her. A man got out, approached her and asked if she knew what street he was on, said Stafford Sheriff’s Major David Decatur.
The woman pointed to the posted street signs, and then he asked her to look at his map. When she said no and walked away, the man grabbed her from behind and knocked her to the ground, said Decatur. The woman then bit him, and while she was on the ground a car passed by and the man fled to his truck and drove off, said Decatur.
After the attack, police said the woman was missing her shoe. They did not say if she was injured.
A short time later, a sheriff’s deputy received a call on his cell phone about a truck similar to the one reported in the attack, spotted about a mile away on Jason Lane, said Decatur.
Police stopped the truck on, which was now on Antietam Loop, and then arrested 20-year-old Demetrice Deonte Ferguson, of Fredericksburg, charging him with abduction with the intent to defile, said Decatur.
Police say the truck Ferguson was is registered to Davis Disposal in Fredericksburg.
